Late type III endoleak from fabric tears of a zenith stent graft: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
We report a case of late type III B endoleak from a fabric tear in the main body of a Zenith bifurcated stent-graft approximately 19 months after implantation. A follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan showed gradual growth in the size of the aneurysm, but no apparent endoleak was recognized. However, the CT scan had demonstrated a mosaic pattern in the aneurysm sac, which could indicate an endoleak from a fabric tear. The defect was repaired by implantation of body extensions, but the patient died 5 h after the procedure.
