Tuberculous Thoracic Aortic Pseudoaneurysm Associated With Spinal Tuberculosis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm associated with spinal tuberculosis is a rare but fatal condition. The risk of pseudoaneurysm rupture is extremely high and this disease needs greater awareness. The present study reported a case of thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm caused by paravertebral cold abscess with spinal tuberculosis. Case presentation: A 35-year-old woman with back pain was diagnosed with thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm with spinal tuberculosis, and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) was performed. The patient's symptoms disappeared after EVAR, following which she was discharged. Conclusions: The case highlighted that in cases where non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed that the aortic vessel was surrounded by a paravertebral abscess, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed to confirm whether the presence of a pseudoaneurysm. Upon diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm, surgery should be performed immediately. In recent times, EVAR has emerged as a promising alternative to open surgery.
