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

case presentationWe report the case of a 45-year-old woman who was referred to our Cardiology Department because of persistent exertional dyspnea and peripheral edema. She had an established clinical diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia with multiple gastrointestinal telangiectasias that had been submitted to repeat embolization in the past and arteriovenous malformations in the liver and lungs. Complete blood count was diagnostic for severe anemia (hemoglobin 5-6 g/dL). Since the hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia diagnosis 3 years prior, the patient informed us that she has undergone 27 blood transfusions and multiple embolizations to manage gastrointestinal telangiectasias. Given her severe anemia that was caused by gastrointestinal telangiectasia, treatment with bevacizumab was initiated. Bevacizumab was administered over 8 cycles (initially biweekly for 4 doses, followed by monthly administration).
