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

Although transarterial embolization is recognized as a treatment for type 2 endoleaks, it can occasionally be challenging. We report the case of an 86-year-old man who presented with an enlarging thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm following thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Using a triaxial system with a 1.3-F microcatheter, transarterial embolization of a type 2 endoleak was successfully performed through a long and tortuous arterial route comprising the thoracodorsal and ninth intercostal arteries. The postoperative clinical course was uneventful, and computed tomography obtained six days later showed no endoleak in the thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. This case suggests the usefulness of a triaxial system with a 1.3-F microcatheter for transarterial embolization of type 2 endoleaks.
