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

Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are usually incidental findings during investigation of other pathologies; the majority remain asymptomatic. Larger RAAs can present with haematuria, hypertension, renal function decline, distal embolisation and even rupture. In this case report, we outline our novel approach in treating a complex type III RAA of a man in his 70s, who presented with right side abdominal and flank pain with persisting haematuria. The patient underwent a successful percutaneous endovascular procedure with placement of a C-Guard stent as a flow diverting device. Our satisfactory results, with preservation of all side branches, resolution of the patient's symptomatology, improvement of blood pressure control, persisted at 12 months follow-up, along with complete exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation. The dual-layer design of the C-Guard stent, even though initially designed for treatment of carotid artery disease, effectively stabilised the aneurysm and safeguarded the side branches while minimising complications.
