Chronic Complete Distal Aortic Occlusion and Pulmonary Embolism-Atypical Antiphospholipid Syndrome?

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.
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
Complete aortic occlusion is a rare pathology with various possible etiologies. According to current data, it is most frequently caused by atherosclerosis. However, thrombosis or vasculitis could also be involved. We present the case of a 42-year-old female with chronic complete distal aortic occlusion, associated pulmonary embolism and positive antiphospholipid antibodies. The patient had an obstetric history suggestive of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). She presented with typical intermittent claudication symptoms persisting for approximately five years at the time of admission. Arteriography revealed complete infrarenal aortic occlusion and the presence of collateral arteries. Aortoiliac bypass surgery was performed. This case emphasizes an unusual, yet possible, etiology of chronic aortic occlusion-most probably, combining atherosclerosis and chronic thrombosis-in a relatively young patient, in which the diagnosis was significantly delayed due to the peculiar association of traits.
