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

backgroundBrachial artery aneurysms are defined as dilations greater than 50% of the normal diameter, which are rare among all peripheral arterial aneurysms. While they are often present as pseudoaneurysms, true brachial artery aneurysms are also detected rarely. In this case report, the surgical repair method of true brachial artery aneurysms, which is a rare condition, is explained. CASE SUMMARY: Herein, we present a 61-year-old male patient with complaints of swelling and pain in the right arm antecubital region that had been progressing over 6 mo. Upon the diagnosis of a true brachial artery aneurysm associated with arteriovenous fistula, the aneurysm was surgically repaired with an autologous saphenous vein graft. The patient was discharged without any neurovascular complications postoperatively.

conclusionTrue brachial artery aneurysms are rare and there are not any recommendations for their management in the current literature. Even though the treatment of true aneurysms in this artery is primarily based on a surgical treatment, endovascular repair also might be an option.
