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

Pseudoaneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening complications that may occur after surgical procedures. This report presents the case of a 28-year-old woman who developed a pseudoaneurysm in the Left Inferior Phrenic Artery (LIPA) following a Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). The complication manifested as severe gastrointestinal bleeding. Upper GI Endoscopy and multislice CT scan, repeated twice, failed to localize the bleeding source to treat it. Successful endovascular embolization using a Glue/Lipidol mixture was achieved despite difficulties in localizing the pseudoaneurysm, resulting in immediate symptomatic relief and avoiding surgical intervention. This case shows the importance of prompt identification and management of LIPA pseudoaneurysms following LSG, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to prevent further hemodynamic deterioration and other adverse outcomes.
