Recanalization of external iliac artery occlusion in a patient with spinal stenosis using medications: a case report.

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
backgroundIliac artery occlusion accompanied by spinal canal stenosis is rare. All reported cases were treated with endovascular stenting for iliac artery occlusion. We report the first case of external iliac artery occlusion accompanied by spinal stenosis, which was successfully treated with conservative treatment. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old man with lower extremity pain and claudication visited the outpatient spine clinic. He complained of a tingling sensation in the L5 dermatome of the right leg and L4 dermatome of the left leg. Magnetic resonance imaging showed central stenosis in at the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels, and lateral recess stenosis at the L5-S1 level. The patient's symptoms were ambiguous with mixed neurological claudication and vascular claudication. Computed tomography of the lower extremity artery showed complete occlusion in the right external iliac artery. Conservative treatment with clopidogrel and beraprost sodium was performed. After treatment, his symptoms gradually improved. Clopidogrel and beraprost sodium were continued for 4 years. Follow-up computed tomography at 4 years showed recanalization of the right external iliac artery occlusion.
conclusionsWe describe a rare case of external iliac artery occlusion and spinal stenosis. External iliac artery occlusion may be successfully treated only with conservative treatment using medication.
