Sudden Rupture of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in COVID19 Patients.
Article in Journal of endovascular therapy : an official journal of the International Society of Endovascular Specialists, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe purpose of the paper is to report the clinical outcomes of 4 patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) during (3 patients) or immediately after (1 patient) moderate-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. We discuss COVID-19-related mechanisms which could impact AAA rupture. PATIENTS AND
methodsDuring the period of the pandemic (March 2020-May 2021), we performed surgery in 18 patients with ruptured AAA. Four patients were affected by moderate or severe SARS-CoV-2 infection (in 3 patients the rupture occurred during the infection and in 1 patient 3. months after discharge from the hospital). Two patients underwent open repair and 2 endovascular surgery.
resultsNo postoperative mortality and no major complication occurred. Rapid growth of the AAA in comparison with a previous Duplex scan was evident in all 4 patients.
conclusionsFamily doctors and vascular surgeons should be aware about the possibility of AAA degeneration in patients with moderate-severe COVID19 infection. The risk is increased by steroid therapy which is essential in more advanced stages of the infection. In this clinical setting, endovascular repair is a valid choice.
