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

Our aim is to present a case of a common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm, which complicated an allograft nephrectomy. A 27-year-old woman presented with acute abdominal pain and a palpable pulsatile mass in the right iliac fossa, 1 year after a right pelvic allograft nephrectomy. An iliac pseudoaneurysm was suspected and confirmed on triplex ultrasound and CT angiography. The patient underwent a pseudoaneurysm resection with direct repair of the previous allograft Carrell patch suture dehiscence. The intervention and recovery were uneventful and after a follow-up of 6 months, the patient remains asymptomatic with no clinical or imaging recurrence of the pseudoaneurysm.Vascular complications following allograft nephrectomy are rare but may present significant morbidity and mortality. Endovascular exclusion is currently the preferred option for the management of pseudoaneurysms following allograft nephrectomy; however, open surgical approach remains an alternative for selected patients.
