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

backgroundPercutaneous endovascular repair (PEVAR) of infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is increasingly being performed due to the development of low profile endografts and the use of percutaneous closure devices. The feasibility and safety of the use of the INCRAFT AAA Stentgraft System and the ProGlide vascular closure system was assessed.

methodsThe PUCCINI trial prospectively enrolled patients undergoing elective repair of infrarenal AAA at 3 centres in the Netherlands and 3 centres in Belgium. Patients underwent PEVAR with endograft implantation followed by closure using the ProGlide closure device. Procedural success rates, complications and 30-day follow-up outcomes were collected.

resultsA total of 93 patients, 87% male, were enrolled. The mean aneurysmal diameter was 53.9 ± 10.2 mm. Successful ProGlide placement was achieved in 97.2% in the right and 89.8% in the left groin. Successful closure was achieved in 92.4% of right and 90% of left groins. One patient required surgical access and two surgical closure. Average blood loss was 155.6 ± 175.5ml. Blood transfusion was not required. Average length of hospital stay was 2.1 ± 1.3 days. Post-implantation endoleaks were present in 37 (40.2%) patients (type 1: 12, type 2: 25). At 30-days there was no aneurysmal growth and no deaths. Follow-up imaging showed endoleaks in 39 (41.9%) patients. (type 1:8, type 2:29, type 3:2).

conclusionThe results from the PUCCINI trial demonstrate that the use of a low profile endoprosthesis for treatment of infrarenal AAA with percutaneous closure has a high rate of technical success and low rates of periprocedural complication.
