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
For isolated internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms with tapered anatomy extending from the common iliac artery (CIA) to the external iliac artery (EIA), upside-down deployment of an iliac limb after IIA embolization is a practical alternative. However, conventional techniques for upside-down modifications typically require external removal, inversion, and reinsertion of the stent-graft, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming. This study presents the first report of a simplified upside-down deployment technique that utilizes the Minos iliac limb. After cutting the nose cone, a 12 Fr Minos iliac limb was preloaded in reverse orientation into a 14 Fr sheath, without external manipulation or reloading. Following distal IIA embolization, the stent-graft was deployed by unsheathing to accommodate the tapered anatomy from the CIA to the EIA. This technique provides a streamlined, off-the-shelf solution for anatomically challenging iliac aneurysms and offers an effective alternative when standard deployment methods are not feasible.
