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

backgroundIatrogenic pseudoaneurysms arising from the internal carotid artery subsequent to carotid endarterectomy are exceptionally infrequent. Herein, we present a case detailing an internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm that manifested subsequent to a hybrid carotid endarterectomy and endovascular therapy intervention. Our approach to managing this condition involved a novel technique wherein thrombin was directly injected into the luminal cavity of the pseudoaneurysm under the guidance of a C-arm. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old male patient of Chinese ethnicity exhibited a 4-month history of headache and a 20-day history of gait disturbance. Digital subtraction angiography revealed occlusion in the cervical region of the left carotid artery. Following a hybrid surgical procedure, the patient reported mild pain and bruising surrounding the incision site of the left internal carotid artery endarterectomy. Subsequent angiography identified the presence of a carotid artery pseudoaneurysm. Utilizing C-arm guidance, thrombin was then directly injected into the luminal cavity of the pseudoaneurysm, resulting in complete healing during follow-up.

conclusionFor the management of pseudoaneurysms arising post carotid endarterectomy, the direct injection of thrombin into the aneurysm cavity under the guidance of a C-arm is deemed both safe and efficacious.
