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

A pseudoaneurysm (PSA) is a contained vascular rupture that typically occurs following catheterization, at the anastomotic site between a native artery and a synthetic graft, post-trauma, or as a result of infection. It is characterized by a hematoma surrounded by tissue, often emerging as a complication of invasive arterial interventions. In patients with HIV/AIDS, PSAs can develop due to vessel wall disruption caused by chronic inflammation, opportunistic infections (such as cytomegalovirus or tuberculosis), or the direct effects of the virus, leading to abnormal blood flow into a chamber confined by adjacent tissue. The clinical presentation of PSAs varies based on their size and location. Diagnosis can be achieved through ultrasonography with color Doppler, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), or digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Treatment modalities include surgery, ultrasound-guided compression, thrombin injection, and endovascular techniques. This review discusses the pathophysiology, histology, diagnosis, and therapeutic options for HIV-related PSAs. Additionally, risk factors and rare complications associated with PSAs are explored in detail.
