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

Aneurysms in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) are rare, making up a very small percentage of all femoral and peripheral artery aneurysms. Most aneurysms of the SFA are asymptomatic and therefore remain undiagnosed. These are concerning as SFA aneurysms carry higher rates of rupture, which can lead to acute limb ischemia. Previous studies have primarily focused on open vascular repair as a treatment option for SFA aneurysms. However, we present a case where an expanding superficial femoral artery aneurysm was successfully treated with endovascular repair.
