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

Aortic endograft infection (AEI) is a rare but life-threatening complication of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). The clinical features of AEI range from generalized weakness and mild fever to fatal aortic rupture or sepsis. The diagnosis of AEI usually depends on clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Management of Aortic Graft Infection Collaboration (MAGIC) criteria are often used to diagnose AEI. Surgical removal of the infected endograft, restoration of aortic blood flow, and antimicrobial therapy are the main components of AEI treatment. After removing an infected endograft, in situ aortic reconstruction is often performed instead of an extra-anatomic bypass. Various biological and prosthetic aortic grafts have been used in aortic reconstruction to avoid reinfection, rupture, or occlusion. Each type of graft has its own merits and disadvantages. In patients with an unacceptably high surgical risk and no evidence of an aortic fistula, conservative treatment can be an alternative. Treatment results are determined by bacterial virulence, patient status, including the presence of an aortic fistula, and hospital factors. Considering the severity of this condition, the best strategy is prevention. When encountering a patient with AEI, current practice emphasizes a multidisciplinary team approach to achieve an optimal outcome.
