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

Isolated iliac artery pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare and typically asymptomatic. However, symptoms may arise from rupture or compression of adjacent structures, such as the ureter, bowel or deep veins. A 46-year-old male presented with right lower limb swelling and preceding lower abdominal pain of 6 months. Duplex imaging showed iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis. Blood tests showed neutrophil leukocytosis and elevated inflammatory markers. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a large eccentric, irregular right common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm with hydronephrosis, hydroureter, and inferior vena cava compression. Based on the radiological and biochemical investigations, a tentative diagnosis of infected iliac artery pseudoaneurysm was made. The patient was successfully managed with endovascular stent grafting. Deep vein thrombosis is a rare presentation of a infected iliac artery pseudoaneurysm. Early referral and timely intervention are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes.
