A rare para-anastomotic femoral artery aneurysm in a patient with history of femoro-popliteal bypass graft occlusion.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionPara-anastomotic aneurysms may develop as a late complication of arterial reconstructions. They are mostly seen after abdominal aortic procedures and also are mostly encountered as pseudoaneurysms. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a true para-anastomotic aneurysm in the common femoral artery of a 57 year old man with an occluded femoro-popliteal bypass graft. We discuss the surgical management and possible causation of this extremely rare condition DISCUSSION: Para-anastomotic aneurysms can have some life-threatening consequences, such as erosion of adjacent tissues, distal embolization from mural thrombus and rupture of the aneurysmal sac.
conclusionEndovascular treatment using stent grafts is highly effective, but it has some handicaps such as occlusion of major arterial orifices. For this reason, surgical reconstruction is the preferable choice for the management of para-anastomotic aneurysms.
