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

Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a rare, often asymptomatic disease (0.1% incidence in general population) and can be incidentally diagnosed during an abdominal imaging workup. The traditional, gold standard of treatment is open surgery, carrying with it, however, a high risk of nephrectomy, mortality, and collateral morbidity. The endovascular approach is currently the most valid alternative to treating RAAs reducing, as it does, the risks associated with the surgical approach/open surgery. Herein we report on our experience with a case of wide-necked RAA treated with the Pipeline Vantage (Medtronic) flow diverter stent. Wide-neck aneurysms are defined as having neck diameters greater than 4 mm. Our choice of endovascular treatment was preferred over the surgical option notwithstanding the large size of the neck and the involvement of the branching vessels.
