Primary aortoenteric fistula: A case report and brief review of the literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 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
Aortoenteric fistula is a life-threatening emergency and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Prompt surgical intervention before the aneurysm ruptures lowers the mortality rate to about 50%. Potential imaging mimics for aortoenteric fistula include retroperitoneal fibrosis, mycotic aortic aneurysm, and infectious aortitis. Secondary aortoenteric fistula has relative higher incidence compared to primary and is more common with open aortic repair versus endovascular stent graft repair. Ectopic gas in the aneurysm sac and extravasation of enteric contrast into the aneurysm sac is diagnostic for aortoenteric fistula. However, enteric contrast is not recommended for routine evaluation of aortoenteric because the aforementioned finding is extremely rare. More common imaging findings include bowel loop appearing adherent to aneurysm sac with associated inflammatory stranding and foci or ectopic gas within the aneurysm sac or interposed between the bowel and aneurysm sac. Here we present a case of 52-year-old male who presents with incidental primary aortoenteric fistula.
