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

Objective: Predicting success after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) relies on measurements of aneurysm sac regression. However, in the absence of regression, morphometric analysis alone is insufficient to reliably predict the successful remodeling of AAAs after EVAR. Biomechanical parameters, such as pressure-normalized principal strain, might provide useful information in the post-EVAR AAA assessment. Our objective was to assess the feasibility of our novel ultrasound elastography (USE) technique to detect changes in the aortic wall principal strain in patients who had undergone EVAR and determine the temporal nature of the biomechanical changes in the aorta. Methods: USE images were obtained from patients undergoing elective EVAR intraoperatively, immediately before and after endograft implantation, and at their 30-day follow-up. The maximal mean principal strain ( Results: USE analysis of the data from 12 patients demonstrated a significant reduction in aortic wall Conclusions: Our analysis has demonstrated that the presented USE technique is a feasible method for detecting significant reductions in aortic
