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

We hereby report a rare case of pseudoaneurysm of the left Inferior epigastric artery following extended totally extraperitoneal (e-TEP) repair for bilateral inguinal hernia. The patient developed swelling and pain in the lower abdomen one month following surgery. He was diagnosed to have a pseudoaneurysm of the left inferior epigastric artery with significant collection in the retro rectus plane. The pseudoaneurysm was thrombosed using Thrombin injection under ultrasound guidance. He was subsequently taken up for laparoscopic pseudo aneurysm excision with hematoma evacuation and ultrasound-guided transfascial ligation of the inferior epigastric artery with mesh explantation. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated and at follow-up, the patient's symptoms were resolved.
