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

Hepatic artery aneurysms are rare, but their diagnosis is important because of high mortality and complications. Common risk factors for developing these aneurysms include hypertension, vascular disease, pancreatitis, diabetes, tobacco use, autoimmune diseases, and previous transplantation. Frequent imaging for trauma and tumor surveillance has increased the incidence of naive hepatic aneurysms. These aneurysms can be difficult to manage, and it can be challenging to decide the correct treatment modality for the patient. Hereby, we present four cases of hepatic artery aneurysm and discuss various treatment options. Patient 1 suffered from a proper and right hepatic artery aneurysm discovered incidentally; repaired with an endovascular intervention later complicated by an endoleak which was further managed by another stenting. Patient 2 had a common hepatic artery aneurysm followed with serial imaging without any intervention. Patient 3 had a hepatic artery aneurysm and liver mass diagnosed concurrently. The patient underwent an open surgical repair of his aneurysm with graft and liver resection which was complicated later with rupture of aneurysm followed by surgical bypass repair. Patient 4 suffered from a large hepatic artery aneurysm causing bile duct compression. Her aneurysm was repaired open with splenic artery grafting. Patients were managed from careful observation to surgery with different outcomes.
