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

purposeThis study assesses the efficacy and safety of self-expandable (SE) versus balloon-expandable (BE) stent grafts for managing visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs), focusing on procedural success and complication rates. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of VAA patients treated at our institution from April 2006 to September 2021. The study reviewed patient demographics, aneurysm characteristics, treatment details, and outcomes, including endoleaks.

resultsAmong the 23 patients analyzed, splenic artery aneurysms represented 44% of cases. Fifteen patients were treated with balloon-expandable stent grafts (BE SGs), and eight patients were treated with self-expandable stent grafts (SE SGs). For saccular aneurysms, the average neck size was 10.10 ± 8.70 mm in the BE group versus 18.50 ± 3.40 mm in the SE group (

conclusionsWhile further investigation is needed to fully assess the outcomes of stent graft treatment for VAAs, initial data show a significantly higher endoleak rate with BE SGs compared to SE SGs. The SE SGs may offer better outcomes due to their superior ability to conform to tortuous and mobile visceral arteries.
