Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with open surgical repair (OSR) of a patient with active COVID-19 infection: A case report.

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
Introduction and importance: Patients continued to present vascular emergencies during the most severe phase of the COVID-19 outbreak. An abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture was considered the most life-threatening condition. Aim: To report a case report of a patient with active COVID-19 infection presenting as a ruptured abdominal aorta aneurysm and treated with open surgical repair at the Department of Vascular Surgery, Royal Jordanian Medical Services (JRMS), Amman, Jordan. Case presentation: A 69-year-old male presented with an active COVID-19 pneumonic chest infection. Abdominal CT of angiography showed a 4.8-cm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm unsuitable for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). After a rapid deterioration in his general condition, he underwent an exploratory laparotomy which revealed the diagnosis of an AAA rupture. We managed his condition operatively with repair using a tube Dacron graft. Clinical discussion: Ruptured AAA is considered a devastating lethal vascular emergency with high mortality and morbidity rates and needs emergency intervention n eligible patients. COVID-19 patients with AAA rupture have a significantly increased risk of intervention and require special attention regarding the type of intervention and anaesthesia. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many guidelines in management vascular emergencies, among them AAA rupture patients. The National Societies guidelines recommended limiting interventions to emergencies only. Conclusion: The difficulties of surgical intervention, anaesthesia and the appropriate intervention selection increase the burden on the medical staff resisting the obstacles imposed on them by COVID-19 infection.
