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

This report documents a rare case of arterial aneurysm following a closed midshaft tibial and fibular fracture. Briefly, a 17-year-old female suffered a traumatic lower extremity fracture and was treated by intramedullary nailing of the tibia. After an uneventful postoperative course, she noted a painful and pulsating swelling of the lateral aspect of the lower extremity about 2 weeks post op. Diagnostic ultrasound confirmed formation of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the peroneal artery adjacent to the fibular fracture. Subsequent endovascular treatment using coil-embolization was successful. Bony healing occurred in a timely fashion and the patient returned to pain free semi-professional sports activities.
