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

Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate whether antiplatelet agents are associated with the reduction, expansion, and rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Methods: A thorough exploration was conducted on four prominent databases, namely EMBASE, Ovid, PubMed, and Scopus, to identify studies that reported the influence of antiplatelet agents on the sac development of AAA. The assessment was carried out until March 2023. R software v.4.1 was used for statistical analysis. Results: After reviewing 13 publications which included a total of 5392 patients (1446 in the antiplatelet group and 2540 in the control group), a meta-analysis was conducted. The results of the analysis revealed that there was no significant difference in the annual growth rate of AAA diameter between those who received antiplatelet agents and those who did not (mean difference (MD) = -0.04, 95% CI = [-0.37, 0.30]; heterogeneity: Conclusions: Antiplatelet agents do not affect AAA's reduction, expansion, or rupture. There is no benefit to AAA patients taking antiplatelet agents for the purpose of slowing down growth rates of sac diameter.
