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

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the upper airway in adults are relatively rare and can present with intermittent hemoptysis. Due to the intermittent nature of the bleeding episodes and frequent need for multidisciplinary interventions, diagnosing and treating upper airway AVMs can be challenging. Here, a case of intermittent hemoptysis due to an AVM of the vallecula is described. It was identified using flexible laryngoscopy and was subsequently surgically removed with resolution of the patient's symptoms. Overall, hemoptysis in adults has a broad differential and a thorough work up with multidisciplinary involvement should be performed.
