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
Mycotic pseudoaneurysms, rare but life-threatening vascular conditions, result from infections of arterial walls, often involving Salmonella species. This case report details a 62-year-old man with diabetes presenting with a Salmonella-induced mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the left common iliac artery (CIA). The patient exhibited severe abdominal and radiating back pain, initially suggestive of gastrointestinal or urinary pathology. Diagnostic imaging revealed a thrombosed pseudoaneurysm with associated inflammatory changes, including wall enhancement and fat stranding, necessitating urgent intervention. Surgical management included extra-anatomical femorofemoral bypass with a polytetrafluoroethylene graft, ligation of the infected artery, and angioplasty of the right CIA to restore blood flow. Postoperative care with tailored antibiotic therapy, based on culture results, ensured the successful resolution of the infection and the prevention of complications. The patient achieved full recovery, with follow-up imaging confirming graft patency and stability of the aortic aneurysm. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis, a multidisciplinary approach, and combined surgical and antibiotic strategies in managing mycotic pseudoaneurysms. It highlights the need for further research into optimizing management protocols for these complex infections.
