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

Mycotic aneurysm is defined as the dilatation of the vessel wall. It is a rare entity especially the mycotic pseudoaneurysm of iliac artery due to the underlying infection of the artery wall. Due to the nonspecific signs and symptoms there is often a delayed diagnosis that can lead to high morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a 4 year old patient with B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma who developed a mycotic aneurysm of the right internal iliac artery while undergoing chemotherapy. The patient underwent the radiological imaging CT scan and MRI for nonspecific symptoms of fever, abdominal pain and lymphadenopathy and aneurysm was found on the scans. Patient health deteriorated fast and he died of cardiopulmonary complications before receiving any surgical or endovascular therapy. This case is unique in its kind as the fast and progressive nature can prove fatal. Therefore, the role of radiological imaging is crucial in making an early diagnosis that can improve the already poor prognosis of this clinical situation.
