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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsThe crossed limbs stent graft technique is regularly employed to treat abdominal aortic aneurysm patients with unfavorable aneurysm necks or widely splayed common iliac arteries. This article numerically evaluates the hemodynamic performance of the crossed limbs strategy by analyzing numerical simulations and conducting experiments using two series of idealized bifurcated stent grafts with different cross angles and cross positions.

resultsResults demonstrated that the absolute helicity at outlets decreased with increased cross angles and increased with decreased cross positions. The time-averaged wall shear stress remained approximately unchanged, whereas the oscillating shear index and relative resident time decreased slightly when the cross angle increased and cross position decreased in iliac grafts. Additionally, both numerical and in vitro experimental results indicate the displacement force acting on the stent graft gradually increased as cross angles increased and cross positions decreased. Results further indicated that strip areas with a high oscillating shear index and high relative resident time, which may be vulnerable to thrombosis formation, exist along the outer surface of the iliac artery grafts.

conclusionGiven this information, the optimal crossed limbs configuration may contain a small cross angle and low cross position; however, low cross positions may increase the risk of migration.
