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

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality. Adverse changes in vascular phenotype act in concert with chronic inflammation to promote AAA progression. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) helps maintain vascular homeostasis but when inflamed and dysfunctional, can also promote vascular pathology. Previous studies suggested that PVAT may be an important site of vascular inflammation in AAA; however, a detailed assessment of leukocyte populations in human AAA, their anatomic location in the vessel wall and correlation to AAA size remain undefined. Accordingly, we performed in depth immunophenotyping of cells infiltrating the pathologically altered perivascular tissue (PVT) and vessel wall in AAA samples at the site of maximal dilatation (
