Slow growth rate in a rare isolated external iliac aneurysm.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 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
A 91-year-old man was referred for an asymptomatic saccular left external iliac aneurysm. Comorbidities included hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peripheral arterial disease, prior radical prostatectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for prostate cancer, left partial nephrectomy for small renal cell carcinoma, and fundoplication for Barrett's esophagus. Review of prior computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed that the aneurysm had been present for the last 24 years (measuring 1.6 cm in 1999) with slow growth until 2023 (measuring 2 cm). On surveillance imaging the next year, the maximum diameter had increased to 2.8 cm. He was treated successfully with an endograft limb. Isolated external iliac artery aneurysms are extremely rare, and this single case report supports that these have a very slow growth rate.
