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

A rare case of a previously treated thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm eroding into the thoracic spine is described. Initially, several follow-up CT angiography scans showed an increasing aneurysm sack, but no endoleak could be depicted. Then, a new rapidly developing erosion into the thoracic spine was noted. MRI imaging excluded any other underlying infectious or malignant process. Additional contrast-enhanced ultrasound excluded an endoleak. A 3D-printed model of the aneurysm and spine and cinematic renderings were created to improve visualization. She underwent relining of the thoracic stent graft. Follow-up imaging showed a stable aneurysm size and no progression of the vertebral erosions.
