1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Systemic-to-pulmonary artery fistula is a rare vascular anomaly characterized by a direct communication between the systemic and pulmonary arteries, carrying a risk of rupture and life-threatening hemoptysis, for which transcatheter embolization has been proposed as a minimally invasive treatment option. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman with an incidentally detected idiopathic SA-PAF arising from a tortuous mediastinal branch of the aorta and forming a fistula with the A7 pulmonary artery of the right lower lobe. Due to the high tortuosity of the feeding artery, embolization from the systemic side alone was anticipated to result in incomplete occlusion due to persistent retrograde flow from the pulmonary arterial side. We therefore performed coil embolization via a combined approach from both the systemic and pulmonary sides. Complete obliteration was achieved without complications, and magnetic resonance angiography at 3 months confirmed no residual flow.
