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

The inguinal region, specifically the femoral vasculature, is a commonly used site of injection for intravenous drug users (IVDU). Repeated puncture of the vessel wall results in breakdown and subsequent arterial pseudoaneurysm- dilatations or outpouching of blood vessels, which, if left untreated, can result in fatal complications such as rupture with hemorrhage, sepsis, or even limb loss. The current modalities for arterial pseudoaneurysms include Doppler ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) angiography, both of which play important roles in management and surgical planning. However, 3D cinematic rendering (CR), a novel CT post-processing technique, offers timely, highly detailed photorealistic images that more clearly display the relation of anatomical structures, allowing for greater diagnostic confidence and precise surgical planning, particularly useful in the emergency setting. In this pictorial review, we demonstrate role of 3D CR in diagnosis and management of femoral pseudoaneurysms in IVDU through 9 illustrative cases.
