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 the case of successful endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) in a 55-year-old male who presented with a ruptured infrarenal aortic pseudoaneurysm, formed after spontaneous avulsion of the inferior mesenteric artery. The avulsion occurred after lifting a heavy object. Although aortic endografting is not the first option in patients with hereditary disorders due to aortic friability and concerns about long-term durability, it is valuable in urgent cases due to lower morbidity and mortality, even as a bridging procedure. This policy is further supported by the fact that the alternative open reconstruction has been invariably associated with hemostasis issues and poor outcomes due to arterial fragility and inability to construct safe anastomoses. Finally, we present a current literature review regarding abdominal aortic and iliac pathology in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 focusing on the type of the vascular lesion, method of repair and outcome.
