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

purposeAfter complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR), long-term surveillance is advocated to monitor for potential (stent-related) complications. Although various imaging modalities are used, computed tomography angiography remains the standard in current clinical practice worldwide. However, radiopaque markers can cause metal artifacts and scattering, hampering assessment of patency of side branches. The maximal systolic acceleration (ACCmax) is a relatively new duplex ultrasound (DUS) parameter measured distal to a stenosis, avoiding in-stent assessment and scattering. The aim of this article is to illustrate the potential diagnostic utility of the ACCmax after cEVAR and visceral artery stenting in general. TECHNIQUE: The ACCmax is measured at the maximal slope of the upstroke during the systolic phase in arterial flow. By manually connecting 2 points, a tangent line is created in which the maximal acceleration is automatically calculated and expressed in m/s
