Gunshot wound causing thoracic aortic injury with bullet embolization to the common femoral artery.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Penetrating traumatic aortic injury (PTAI) is increasing in prevalence given the rise in firearm violence in the United States and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. These injuries often result in hemorrhagic shock, with patients presenting in extremis or pulseless, traditionally requiring open approaches for repair. A rare but potentially devastating complication of firearm-related PTAI is bullet embolization. This case report describes the successful resuscitation and endovascular treatment of a patient with a firearm-induced PTAI complicated by acute limb ischemia secondary to bullet arterial embolization to the common femoral artery requiring arteriotomy for bullet removal.
