Perioperative factors associated with aneurysm sac size changes after endovascular aneurysm repair.
Article in Surgery today, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo identify the perioperative factors associated with aneurysm size changes after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).
methodsBetween August, 2008 and December, 2014, 187 patients underwent EVAR treatment in our institution. The subjects of this study were 135 of these patients without peripheral artery disease, who were followed up with computed tomography (CT) for 3 years. Significant aneurysm size change was defined as sac size change of more than 5 mm from the baseline.
resultsSac enlargement was identified in 25 patients (18.5%) and sac shrinkage was identified in 59 (43.7%) patients. The factors associated with sac enlargement were postoperative pulse wave velocity (OR: odds ratio 3.80, p = 0.047), prevalence of a type 2 endoleak 1 week after surgery (OR 4.26, p = 0.022), inner diameter (OR 1.10, p = 0.005), and distance from the lower renal artery to the terminal aorta (OR 1.05, p = 0.017). The factors associated with sac shrinkage were prevalence of a type 2 endoleak (OR 0.09, p < 0.001) and preoperative pulse wave velocity (OR 0.32, p = 0.022). The factors independently associated with type 2 endoleak were the use of an Excluder device (OR 3.99, p = 0.002) and the length of the aneurysm (OR 1.02, p = 0.027).
conclusionInner diameter, treatment length, perioperative pulse wave velocity, and type 2 endoleak were associated with sac size changes after EVAR.
