A case report of bilateral persistent sciatic artery with thrombosis in a 47-year-old woman: A rare vascular anomaly.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThe persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that arises when the embryonic axial artery fails to regress, potentially leading to serious complications such as limb ischemia. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with a history of essential hypertension and recent hormonal treatment for uterine fibroids. She developed acute limb ischemia due to bilateral PSA thrombosis, which was confirmed through comprehensive imaging. A multidisciplinary team implemented a management strategy that included anticoagulation therapy and close monitoring, resulting in significant improvement in her symptoms. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The incidence of PSA thrombosis is low, estimated at around 0.04 % to 0.06 %, with bilateral involvement in approximately 30 % of cases. This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment plans and highlights the need for increased awareness and research into PSA to optimize clinical outcomes, particularly in resource-limited settings.
conclusionThis report emphasizes the critical role of early diagnosis and a tailored approach to management in patients with PSA.
