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

Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms became the standard of care in 2005, yet screening procedures continue to be underutilized. While improvements in mortality rates have been noted over the past 15 years, continued patient mortality from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms suggests a need for further research, regarding the effectiveness of the current screening process. Abdominal aortic aneurysms can progress silently, and the risk of rupture increases significantly with increase in diameter. We report a large, untreated infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm of 17 cm in length and 8 cm in diameter, showing the chronic atherothrombosis discovered in a 91 year-old white male cadaveric donor. A literature review was conducted to elucidate current understanding of the pathology, risk factors, screening recommendations, and treatment options available for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
