Posterior tibial artery pseudoaneurysm: a rare complication following orthopedic surgery-a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Orthopedic procedures, although commonly associated with complications such as joint infections, deep venous thrombosis, or wound infections, rarely result in vascular complications. We present a case of a posterior tibial artery (PTA) pseudoaneurysm following blunt trauma during an elective orthopedic procedure involving the removal of osteosynthesis material. The patient developed leg swelling and intermittent hemorrhage between 1 and 3 weeks postoperatively. Doppler ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) angiography confirmed the presence of a PTA pseudoaneurysm. The patient subsequently underwent open surgical repair in our secondary center, which involved exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm at the proximal PTA and patch angioplasty using an autologous venous graft. This case highlights the critical role of non-invasive diagnostic modalities, such as Doppler ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced CT with 3D reconstruction, in diagnosing vascular complications following orthopedic procedures. The patient remained asymptomatic during both the 3-week and 3-month follow-up periods.
