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

The development of pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon, life-threatening complication of head and neck microvascular surgery. Only a handful of reports have been published describing microvascular pseudoaneurysms, which usually occur at the arterial anastomosis and present as a pulsatile neck mass or as haemorrhage in case of pseudoaneurysm rupture. Management is highly variable, especially in the acute setting. In patients with pseudoaneurysm where flap inosculation is inadequate, endovascular approaches may be appropriate. In this report, we describe a ruptured distal pedicle pseudoaneurysm of a radial forearm free flap salvaged with a flow-diverting stent with complete flap survival and pedicle preservation. We demonstrate further evidence and feasibility of endovascular treatment of a non-anastomotic pseudoaneurysm arising from small vessels when parent vascular integrity is critical to flap survival.
