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

A man in his late 60s presented with intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and approximately 40 pounds of weight loss over the course of a year, most concerning for chronic mesenteric ischaemia. Given a prior negative workup, a CT angiogram was performed and revealed a wide neck mid-superior mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA). As PSAs are susceptible to thrombus formation and distal emboli, this incidental finding was considered a possible explanation for his intermittent symptoms and thus required treatment. Anatomical constraints precluded traditional coiling or covered stent placement, so the interventional radiology team used a neurointerventional technique and performed a successful balloon-assisted coil embolisation of the PSA with subsequent resolution of the patient's symptoms. More than 3 years postprocedure, the patient remains asymptomatic with no complications.
