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
Saphenous vein graft (SVG) aneurysm is one of the late unusual complications of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We report a case of a very large SVG aneurysm successfully treated with a vascular plug 4. A 94-year-old man was referred to our hospital for an expanding aortic aneurysm. The patient had undergone CABG 24 years prior, with three SVGs to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, left circumflex arteries (LCX) artery, and right coronary artery (RCA). A computed tomography scan of the chest demonstrated an 8.8 cm × 6.5 cm aneurysm arising from an ascending aortic wall. Coronary angiography revealed an aneurysm arising from the proximal segment of the SVG to the RCA. The distal graft anastomosis of the SVG to the RCA and LCX was occluded. Another SVG to the LAD was widely patent. From a radial approach, a 5-Fr catheter (Tempo, Cardinal Health, OH) was advanced into its cavity, and a 7-mm Amplatzer vascular plug 4 (AVP-IV, AGA Medical Corporation, MN) was successfully delivered. Contrast CT confirmed a thrombus development in the cavity. The patient was discharged home. However, interventions utilizing vascular plug insertion are limited to cases of graft occlusion. We report a case of the successful treatment of a large SVG aneurysm using the Amplatzer vascular plug 4.
