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

introductionHaemorrhagic complications are commonly reported in the course of acute pancreatitis (AP). The most dangerous are pseudoaneurysms secondary to wall erosion of the vessels crossing the inflammation area.

aimTo evaluate the efficacy of different embolisation techniques of pseudoaneurysms secondary to AP. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe treatment outcomes in 10 AP patients were analysed in a follow-up period of 1 to 10 months (most frequently: splenic or gastroduodenal artery aneurysms). A total of 12 endovascular procedures were performed (thrombin embolisation, coil embolisation or combined). The efficacy of aneurysm sac exclusion and the patency of the treated vessel were compared.

resultsThe follow-up examination on postprocedural day 7 revealed aneurysm refilling in 3 out of 11 cases. Three patients showed an occlusion of the aneurysm-parent vessel. One month after the procedures, involving 10 patients, a vessel occlusion was confirmed in 3 and aneurysm sac refilling in another 2 patients. Taking into consideration the type of the procedure performed, treatment failure in the form of sac refilling was observed in half of thrombin-based procedures, 25% of coil embolisations and 33% of sandwich technique procedures. Similar failure distribution was noted for vessel occlusion.

conclusionsIt seems that thrombin injection was least successful, whereas thrombin injection into the sac and implantation of coils into the aneurysm neck seems to be the optimal procedure, in respect to both the cost-effectiveness of the procedure and late outcomes.
