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

introductionThe endovascular method as a less invasive treatment for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has become an alternative to conventional open surgery.

aimThe objective of the present study was to analyse the outcomes of endovascular treatment of AAA patients in long-term observation. MATERIAL AND

methodsA group of 236 AAA patients subjected to planned endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between 2010 and 2015 was reviewed. Rates of mortality, surgical complications and re-interventions were collected in the separate time periods, i.e. up to 30 days after surgery, 30 days to 3 years, and from 3 to 5 years after surgery. Cumulative rates of these parameters were evaluated in the short-term (up to 30 days after surgery), medium-term (up to 3 years), and long-term (up to 5 years after surgery) perspective.

resultsThe median age of patients was 75 years, and the most common comorbidities were arterial hypertension (54%) and ischaemic heart disease (52%). Cumulative short-, medium- and long-term mortality rates were 2.5%, 14.2% and 28.9%, respectively. Total rates of surgical complications in short-, medium- and long-term observation were 7.6%, 12.6% and 17.5%, respectively. The cumulative rate of re-interventions ranged from 4.2% to 11.4%.

conclusionsIn the consecutive time periods, the increase in the percentage of surgical complications and re-interventions increased gradually, in contrast to mortality, where the curve grew significantly, which is expected due to the aging and numerous comorbidities in the observed group of patients.
