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

Pseudoaneurysms of the superior gluteal artery (SGA) are exceedingly rare, especially following minor trauma. This case report presents a 51-year-old male with a history of aortic valve replacement and daily antiplatelet therapy who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the SGA following a ground-level fall. Due to its subclinical presentation, the patient was initially diagnosed with a hematoma of the right gluteus, which failed to resolve and became symptomatic after six months. During an initial attempt to evacuate the presumed hematoma, an intraoperative hemorrhage led to the discovery of the pseudoaneurysm and required prompt embolization. This case report underscores the importance of considering vascular injury, even after a minor trauma, particularly in patients on antiplatelet therapy. In such patients, a higher index of suspicion might be required for early recognition and appropriate interventions to prevent such life-threatening complications.
