Saccular and Fusiform Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Treated With Endovascular Repair Differ in Presentation and Treatment Threshold: Analyses Using a National Clinical Database in Japan.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
backgroundSaccular abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are considered to be at higher risk of rupture than fusiform AAAs, but not much is known about the extent of this risk. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the rupture presentation between fusiform and saccular AAAs. METHODS AND
resultsThis is a retrospective cohort study on 27 290 patients who underwent primary endovascular repair for a degenerative AAA between 2016 and 2019, and who were registered in the National Clinical Database in Japan. At operation for nonruptured case, the aneurysm diameter was significantly smaller in saccular AAAs than in fusiform AAAs (median, 44.0 versus 51.0 mm;
conclusionsSaccular AAAs presented at smaller diameters than fusiform AAAs in patients with ruptured AAAs treated with endovascular aortic repair, which supports the idea that saccular AAAs should be treated at smaller diameters.
