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

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) continue to pose a high mortality risk despite advances in medical imaging and surgery. Intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is detected in most AAAs and may critically impact their development. Therefore, understanding ILT deposition and growth is of practical importance. To assist in managing these patients, the scientific community has been researching the relationship between intraluminal thrombus (ILT) and hemodynamic parameters wall shear stress (WSS) derivatives. This study analyzed three patient-specific AAA models reconstructed from CT scans using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and a pulsatile non-Newtonian blood flow model. The co-localization and relationship between WSS-based hemodynamic parameters and ILT deposition were examined. The results show that ILT tends to occur in regions of low velocity and time-averaged WSS (TAWSS) and high oscillation shear index (OSI), endothelial cell activation potential (ECAP), and relative residence time (RRT) values. ILT deposition areas were found in regions of low TAWSS and high OSI independently of the nature of flow near the wall characterized by transversal WSS (TransWSS). A new approach is suggested which is based on the estimation of CFD-based WSS indices specifically in the thinnest and thickest ILT areas of AAA patients; this approach is promising and supports the effectiveness of CFD as a decision-making tool for clinicians. Further research with a larger patient cohort and follow-up data are needed to confirm these findings.
