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

Gastroepiploic artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms pose diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and overlapping radiological features. This case report presents an 82-year-old woman with sudden-onset severe abdominal pain with computed tomography revealing hemoperitoneum and saccular dilations adjacent to the stomach's greater curvature, suggestive of vascular pathology. Selective abdominal arteriography confirmed three saccular dilatations in the gastroepiploic artery, which were managed successfully with coil embolization. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis, distinguishing between aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, and prompt intervention to mitigate the risk of hemorrhagic complications of either of them. The case underscores the significance of endovascular management in such rare and critical scenarios.
