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
Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare disorder that is characterized by vascular lesions mainly caused by vascular fragility, such as spontaneous carotid-cavernous fistula (sCCF). We experienced a patient who presented with sCCF but suffered postoperative multiple vascular arteriopathy complications caused by undiagnosed vEDS. A 39-year-old woman who had no physical and medical characteristics indicating vEDS was referred to our hospital due to sudden onset of headache and pulsatile tinnitus. Digital subtraction angiography revealed direct sCCF of the left internal carotid artery. Internal trapping with coils was performed using the bilateral transfemoral artery approach, and complete occlusion of the high-flow fistula was achieved. At the end of the procedure, left femoral angiography via the sheath revealed extravasation from the puncture site. Hemostasis using an Angio-Seal hemostasis device under proximal balloon protection standby was immediately performed, and complete hemostasis was achieved. Postoperative abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a huge retroperitoneal hematoma. To improve the patient's hypovolemic shock conditions, hypervolemic therapy was administered, and her vital signs normalized. Approximately 10 days after the treatment, abdominal CT revealed pseudoaneurysm at the bilateral puncture sites and dissection of the left external iliac artery. Based on the clinical events, vEDS was strongly suspected. The genetic test revealed collagen type III alpha 1 chain gene abnormality, which led to a definite diagnosis. The symptoms improved, and follow-up CT showed spontaneous healing of both vascular arteriopathies with no recurrence. Attention should be paid to the risk of vascular arteriopathy complications during the perioperative period in patients with vEDS.
