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

The pathogenesis of renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) is degenerative, which eventually leads to weakening of the vessel wall and, in extreme cases, rupture. RAAs are a rare occurrence. Patients generally are asymptomatic, with a small number presenting with uncontrollable hypertension or hematuria. Most RAAs are discovered incidentally on imaging and do not pose an immediate health threat. However, the risk of rupture is an indication for prophylactic repair in certain patients. Interest in interventional radiologic procedures in the management of RAAs has recently increased; however, open repair should still be considered in select instances. In this case series, we present three patients for whom an open approach was indicated and performed.
