1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present a case of aortic intimal sarcoma mimicking a mycotic para-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm, treated with staged hybrid surgery. A 60-year-old female presented with complaints of nausea and back pain. Computed tomography showed a para-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm with irregular and multilobulated shape, without periaortic soft-tissue inflammation, occlusion of the celiac artery, and stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery. She underwent superior mesenteric artery stenting, followed by aortic resection and axillo-femoral bypass for suspicion of mycotic aortic aneurysm. Pathologic examination revealed aortic intimal sarcoma. Two years after surgery, she died of multiple organ failure due to sepsis during chemotherapy for bone metastases.
