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

The absence or dysplasia of the iliac artery(IA) is an exceedingly rare condition, with limited cases documented in the literature. In this report, we present a case of hypoplasia of the right external iliac artery (EIA) in a 69-year-old male patient. The patient presented with right lower abdominal pain attributed to an aneurysm of the right internal iliac artery (IIA), yet notably, there was no evidence of lower limb ischemia at the time of consultation. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the aorta revealed a slender and occluded right EIA. Additionally, aneurysms were identified in the abdominal aorta (AA), the common iliac artery (CIA), and the right IIA, with collateral circulation involving the deep femoral artery and internal pathways. We performed aortoiliac aneurysm repair with a bifurcated synthetic graft on the patient's AA and iliac artery (IA), successfully excising the abdominal aorta aneurysms (AAA) and the CIA aneurysm. Postoperatively, thrombosis of the internal iliac aneurysm was observed, and the patient experienced a resolution of pain symptoms in the right lower abdomen. This paper delineates the vascular variations and treatment strategies employed and provides a review of the existing literature on IA malformations.
