Spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery successfully treated by open surgery: Case report and review of the literature.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
rationaleAn extremely rare spontaneous pseudoaneurysm (PSA) of the posterior tibial artery (PTA) in a middle-aged male patient was cured by open surgery effectively. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 53-year-old man presented with the increasing swollen left shank for 1 day, with intermittent pain, pulselessness and pallor. He denied the history of trauma, infection, and other diseases. DIAGNOSES: Physical examination, past medical history, ankle brachial index, ultrasonography, computed tomographic angiography (CTA), 3-dimensional reconstruction image of the popliteal artery and its branches and histological examination of intraluminal thrombus and clots helped us diagnose the patient as spontaneous PSA of PTA.
interventionsOur patient underwent excision of PSA and repair operation of PSA. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well at 2-year follow-up. LESSONS: This rare case provides valuable insights for tissue repair and vascular surgery. Therapeutic methods should be in accordance with the best interest of patient. Open surgery is the effective treatment for spontaneous PSA of PTA.
