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

backgroundThe factors influencing common iliac artery aneurysm (CIA) growth are not fully known. Intraluminal thrombus (ILT) has been studied as a marker of growth in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), but its role in CIAs is unknown. This study aims to examine the factors associated with growth of CIAs coexistent with AAA using serial cross-sectional imaging (CT and MRI) with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR).

methodsPatients with synchronous AAA and CIA observed at contrast-enhanced CT or MRI were included. The maximal diameters of both CIA and AAA were measured using MPR. Correlation of the baseline aneurysm diameter and growth rate between CIA and AAA was evaluated. Multivariate regression analysis was used to investigate the factors associated with CIA growth.

resultsSeventy-five AAA patients (age 74±9 years; all male) with 100 CIAs were followed for an average of 2.2±1.2 years. CIA and AAA growth were positively correlated (r=0.39, P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that CIA baseline diameter, AAA baseline diameter, and smoking were positively related to CIA growth. In 2-3 cm CIAs (n=59), ILT tends to be an independent predictor of AAA growth (P=0.076), and CIAs with ILT grow at more than twice the rate of CIAs without ILT (1.7

conclusionsCIA baseline diameter, coexisting AAA baseline diameter, and smoking are associated with CIA growth. In CIAs measuring 2-3 cm, the presence of ILT is associated with faster growth, and should be taken into account when determining surveillance intervals and timing of intervention for patients being considered for AAA repair.
