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

purposeTo evaluate the clinical outcome of US-guided percutaneous thrombin injection in the treatment of non-femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (NFAP). MATERIALS AND

methodsAmong all pseudoaneurysms treated in our institution, we retrospectively collected NFAP embolized with percutaneous thrombin injections from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021. The embolization was prompted for an ongoing antiaggregating/anticoagulation therapy, NFAP optimal US visibility, or high surgery-related risks. Causes, location, size and neck of NFAP, complications, number of repeated treatments, clinical success and patients clinical conditions at discharge were annotated. The endpoint for clinical success was the resolution of NFAP at postprocedural imaging, with no resort to surgery.

resultsEight consecutive patients (5 females, median age 73 years, range 46-84) underwent 16 procedures. Arterial damage was due to catheterization (3), CVC mispositioning (2), trauma, hemorrhagic diathesis and endoprosthesis endoleak. We treated humeral (2), subclavian (2), thyrocervical, anterior tibial, radial and pancreaticoduodenal arteries. Median pseudoaneurysm size was 530 mm

conclusionsPercutaneous US-guided thrombin injection to treat NFAP is feasible in selected cases, with rare complications. Clinical success is often reached, also by repeated injections.
