Hepatic Artery Aneurysm/Pseudoaneurysm: An Unusual Cause of Upper Gastrointestinal (UGI) Bleeding and Biliary Obstruction Further Complicated by Glue Dislodgement Leading to Biliary Obstruction.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAA) and pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities, that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. We present a case report of a 78-year-old lady with a hepatic artery aneurysm who initially presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) and biliary obstruction and was treated by trans-arterial embolization. Recovery was complicated by glue embolisation leading to obstructive jaundice and biliary sepsis. This case highlights the importance of having a high index of suspicion for HAA and pseudoaneurysm when initial investigations including oesophago gastro duodenoscopy (OGD) are negative. Although rare, glue embolization should be considered in patients who present with obstructive jaundice and abdominal pain.
