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

purposeTo describe the downsizing post-closure technique for access hemostasis during emergency endovascular repair (EVAR) in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA). MATERIALS AND

methodsA cohort of eight patients underwent emergency EVAR through 16 femoral access sites for infrarenal RAAA. The downsizing post-closure technique, which involves a reduction in the size of the large-bore access by advancing a 10F sheath, was consistently applied. Technical success was defined as complete hemostasis without a bailout intervention. Primary outcome measure was the incidence of access-related complications. Secondary outcome measures included manual compression time, hemostasis time, hospital stay, additional use of Proglide, and the 30-day mortality rate.

resultsThe technique resulted in a 100% success rate (mean age: 69.5 ± 11.7 years; 75% males). The mean arterial sheath size was 18.1 ± 1.9F. The mean manual compression time was 3.6 ± 1.2 min, and the mean hemostasis time was 6.8 ± 1.4 min. No patients required additional use of Proglide, and no access-related complications were observed. The 30-day mortality rate was 12.5%.

conclusionsThe downsizing post-closure technique may offer an alternative for access hemostasis during emergency EVAR for RAAA. However, further evaluations through larger comparative studies are required.
