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

Primary aortic tumors after endovascular aortic repair are rarely reported in the literature. Here, we report an elderly male with abdominal aortic leiomyosarcomas (LMS) after an endovascular aneurysm repair in 2012 for a 5-cm symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm using an Endurant II aortic stent graft (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minn). The autopsy confirmed the aortic LMS after the patient rapidly deteriorated and succumbed to death. The vascular LMS are rapidly progressive and diagnostically challenging malignant soft tissue tumors with poor prognosis, which necessitates a strong clinical suspicion and attentiveness to radiologic signs for prompt diagnosis.
