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

Objective: To report the strategies and short-term results of different treatment methods for abdominal aortic stent graft infection. Methods: Six consecutive patients (5 males and 1 female; mean age: 64 years; age range: 49-79 years) received surgical treatment for stent graft infection from November 2021 to December 2022. All patients underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic and iliac artery disease, subsequently developed graft infection and then received corresponding surgical treatment with different materials (artificial blood vessel, bovine pericardium, autologous great saphenous vein) in our department. The outcomes were analysed. Results: Immediate technical success was achieved intraoperatively in all six patients. The 30-day mortality rate was 0%. During a mean follow-up of 4 months (range, 3-13 months), one patient underwent a second operation due to vascular anastomotic haemorrhage and underwent bilateral limb amputations due to ischaemia. All patients survived. Conclusions: In the short term, the different materils and methods used to treat aortic stent graft infection achieved satisfactory results.
