Anterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm after ankle arthroscopy and Brostrom procedure treated with thrombin injection.

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
Ankle arthroscopy and the Brostrom procedure are common interventions for ankle instability, but they do carry a risk of vascular injury resulting in a pseudoaneurysm. We present a rare case of anterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm after ankle arthroscopy and Brostrom procedure treated with direct thrombin injection. A 40-year-old male patient presented with progressive left anterior ankle pain and swelling 5 months after a left ankle arthroscopy and Brostrom procedure. MRI and ultrasound imaging was consistent with anterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm. He was referred to interventional radiology for treatment. His pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated with an ultrasound guided direct thrombin injection. Several potential treatments are available for treatment of pseudoaneurysms. This includes surgical intervention, endovascular treatment, external compression, and direct thrombin injection. All of these treatment options have been explored in literature. Of these possible treatments, direct thrombin injection has the best combination of efficacy, complication rate, and recurrence rate, which makes it the preferred treatment for a pseudoaneurysm.
