Serious Scrotal Hematoma Due to Injury of Inferior Epigastric Artery: A Rare Complication of Femoral Puncture.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The inferior epigastric artery branches from the external iliac artery just above the inguinal ligament. A 50-year-old man presented with scrotal swelling after catheter ablation, and a computed tomography scan revealed a scrotal hematoma and extravasation from the inferior epigastric artery. Emergent coil embolization was performed, and the scrotal hematoma was managed conservatively. Accidental puncture of the inferior epigastric artery during femoral vein puncture may result in a scrotal hematoma because of bleeding through the inguinal canal. It is important to understand the anatomy around the inguinal region to prevent a high puncture.
