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 78-year-old man with atherosclerosis was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma by transfemoral angiography of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries (SMA). After surgery, a serum examination revealed progressive renal failure with eosinophilia, leading to end-stage kidney disease, in addition to active gastric ulcers and pancreatitis. Cyanosis in the bilateral toes showed a cholesterol crystal embolism (CCE) in a skin biopsy. Autopsy revealed that CCE involved the arterioles of multiple organs, and its distribution was anatomically consistent with the vascular territories of the celiac artery and SMA. CCE should therefore be considered in patients presenting with multiple types of tissue damage in the vascular territories after angiography.
