Case report: Retrogenicular popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm following trivial knee hyperextension.

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
introductionPopliteal artery pseudoaneurysm is rare after blunt trauma without associated bone fracture, usually presenting in a delayed fashion. We present a case of early presentation following minor civilian trauma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 66-year-old man presented with left leg pain and swelling after a trivial knee hyperextension injury. Ultrasound revealed a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm, confirmed by CT angiogram. Open surgical repair with interposition graft was successful. Intraoperatively, a 3 cm linear laceration in the retrogenicular popliteal artery and ipsilateral hamstring tear were noted. DISCUSSION: Delayed presentation is typical, making early detection challenging. Our case emphasizes maintaining suspicion for popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm, especially after trivial knee injuries. Prompt imaging and intervention are crucial to mitigate potential complications.
conclusionPopliteal artery pseudoaneurysm from minor knee trauma is rare but should be considered in patients with leg pain and swelling. Early detection and surgical intervention are vital to prevent complications.
