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

Aortoiliac mycotic aneurysm is an uncommon and deadly condition associated with significant perioperative morbidity. We present a case of common iliac mycotic pseudoaneurysm managed with debridement, vessel ligation, and extra-anatomic reconstruction owing to systemic illness. Notably, the patient had an implanted ventriculoperitoneal shunt for a history of cerebral aneurysm and resulting hydrocephalus. This report discusses the ultimately successful management of a large aortoiliac mycotic aneurysm. The patient did contend with bacterial meningitis postoperatively, likely owing to an ascending infection of the aforementioned shunt.
