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

We present the case of a 71-year-old woman with gastrointestinal bleeding 21 days after undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Initial imaging revealed a pseudoaneurysm of nonaneurysmal infrarenal aorta, managed with an endovascular stent graft. Despite this procedure, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding persisted, prompting further imaging that identified an aortoenteric fistula complicated by endograft infection. The fistula likely resulted from an iatrogenic injury caused by trocar entry during the cholecystectomy. Definitive surgical repair involved resection of the infected endograft and reconstruction with a bovine pericardium conduit. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of aortoenteric fistulas, endograft infection risks, and considerations in selecting conduits for reconstruction.
