A rare case of type III popliteal artery entrapment syndrome causing popliteal pseudoaneurysm.
Article in Heliyon, 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
Here, we report the case of a 30-year-old male who presented with acute right calf muscle pain. Computed tomography angiography revealed a popliteal artery aneurysm in the midsection. Popliteal fossa muscle tissue evaluation revealed that the popliteal artery aneurysm was located beneath an anomalous muscle bundle. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with type III popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and treated surgically. The patient was asymptomatic at rest and during physical activity 4 months after surgery with unobstructed bloodstream in the right popliteal artery. Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome should be considered in young male patients with popliteal artery pseudoaneurysms without atherosclerosis, hereditary diseases, or infections and treated surgically.
