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

Atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a common vascular pathology with significant morbidity and mortality risks. Timely diagnosis, accurate characterization, and standardized reporting are critical for effective management and monitoring of atherosclerotic AAAs. Imaging modalities, particularly computed tomography angiography (CTA), play a pivotal role in the detection, treatment planning, and identification of both primary and secondary complications, as well as distinguishing AAAs from other etiologies. This narrative review provides a comprehensive exploration of the spectrum of imaging findings in atherosclerotic AAAs on CTA, underscoring the importance of structured reporting. Additionally, it examines therapeutic approaches and complications, and it differentiates AAAs from inflammatory, mycotic, and traumatic variants, serving as a primer for radiologists in AAA evaluation.
