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

Celiac artery (CA) occlusion or stenosis is identified in up to almost half of all patients undergoing abdominal angiography, and the resulting increased collateral blood flow from the superior mesenteric artery to the pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) may cause PDA aneurysms (PDAAs). PDAAs are rare but could be fatal if they rupture. However, treatment of the PDAA could block this important collateral blood flow pathway, leading to ischemic organ damage. Treatment of such aneurysms is therefore difficult, especially in patients with multiple PDAAs. Successful treatment of PDAAs requires establishing blood flow in the CA region and selecting which aneurysm(s) to treat. We present four patients who underwent surgery for unruptured PDAAs caused by CA obstruction. Blood flow in the CA region was established by bypassing the splenic artery and by anastomosing it either directly to the left renal artery (n = 1) or to the abdominal aorta using a graft (saphenous vein: n = 1; artificial vessel: n = 2). Three patients had multiple PDAAs: all PDAAs were treated in one patient with PDAAs of similar size and shape, but only the largest PDAA with the highest risk of rupture was treated in the other two patients to simplify the procedure. The median observation period was 19.5 months (range: 11-28 months), and all patients were alive without recurrence at the time of writing. Surgical treatment including splenic artery bypass may thus be a viable option for treating patients with unruptured PDAAs.
