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

Preprocedural image analysis and intraprocedural techniques to fully treat infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm sacs outside of the endograft with shape memory polymer (SMP) devices during endovascular aneurysm repair were developed. Prospective, multicenter, single-arm studies were performed. SMP is a porous, self-expanding polyurethane polymer material. Target lumen volumes (aortic flow lumen volume minus endograft volume) were estimated from the preprocedural imaging studies and endograft dimensions. SMP was delivered immediately after endograft deployment via a 6F sheath jailed in a bowed position in the sac. Technical success was achieved in all cases, defined as implanting enough fully expanded SMP volume to treat the actual target lumen volume.
