Clinical analysis of non-anastomotic aneurysms of implanted prosthetic grafts.
Article in Surgery today, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo investigate the features of non-anastomotic aneurysms (NAAs) of implanted prosthetic grafts through our case series and present a general review of NAAs.
methodsWe studied retrospectively, a series of NAAs of seven grafts in six patients treated between 2001 and 2010, and reviewed the data on NAAs reported between 1962 and 2009.
resultsThe grafts in our series were implanted between 1986 and 2006. The primary surgical procedures were bypass between the axillary and femoral artery (n = 1), bypass between the subclavian artery and abdominal aorta (n = 1), bypass between the aorta and femoral artery (n = 1), bypass between the femoral and popliteal artery (n = 1), bypass between the femoral and femoral artery (n = 2), and bypass between the aorta and iliac artery (n = 1). The graft material was knitted Dacron in all cases and the implantation period ranged from 2.7 to 24 years (median 13.8 years). All NAAs originated from a hole in the graft. Reports of NAA have decreased dramatically, although according to the data, knitted Dacron accounted for 80 % of these implanted grafts.
conclusionsGraft deterioration and the subsequent development of an NAA can occur even with the latest knitted Dacron grafts, even though the incidence is very low.
