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

backgroundEarly type IIIb endoleak is a very rare complication of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). CASE PRESENTATION: An 87-year-old man was diagnosed with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. The patient underwent EVAR using the Endurant stent graft. Postoperative color duplex ultrasound revealed a regular row of pulsatile blood flow from the main body and left leg. The blood flow appeared to be bleeding from the stent suture lines because of its regularity. Type IIIb endoleak was suspected due to stent suture line fabric breakage but was not treated surgically or endovascularly because of the patient's poor general health status. Six months later, contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated a deformation and enlargement of the aneurysm sac as well as an oozing of the contrast medium on the main body and left limb. Thereafter, he died of a subdural hematoma due to a fall. Autopsy showed no visible abnormal erosion or holes on the graft fabric, suggesting that suture line fabric breakage may have existed during the manufacturing process.

conclusionsAlthough rare, type IIIb endoleaks can occur even in the perioperative period after EVAR. Early type IIIb endoleaks may not resolve spontaneously and should be treated promptly, if possible.
