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

Subclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular injuries frequently associated with trauma such as clavicle fractures. In this paper we describe the case of a 49-year-old male who developed a post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the subclavian artery after a bicycle accident. The diagnosis was delayed due to non-specific symptoms and an initially missed aneurysm on computed tomography imaging. Persistent pain, swelling, and erythema in the subclavian region prompted further detailed diagnostics, which ultimately revealed the pseudoaneurysm. The patient was successfully treated with endovascular stent-graft implantation. We screened the PubMed database to identify similar cases managed exclusively through endovascular intervention. Reports of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms and those treated with open surgery were excluded. Variables such as time to diagnosis, clinical presentation, features of pseudoaneurysms, and complications were analyzed to highlight the role of endovascular techniques as a minimally invasive and effective treatment option. These cases pose both a diagnostic and a therapeutic challenge, as early recognition of symptoms is crucial to prevent serious complications including thrombosis, neurological deficits, and even limb loss.
