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

Pseudoaneurysms of the radial artery often occur in association with catheterization procedures or trauma, and idiopathic cases are rare. Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) is effective for diagnosis; however, the effectiveness of endovascular treatment for pseudoaneurysms remains unclear. A 64-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with pain and swelling of the left forearm and hand. Symptoms appeared seven days prior and were treated with antibiotics, but there was no improvement. POCUS revealed a yin-yang sign, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery. Endovascular treatment was performed. Idiopathic radial artery pseudoaneurysms are rare, and differentiating them from other soft tissue diseases is important. Emergency physicians should be aware that POCUS is effective for the rapid diagnosis of idiopathic radial artery pseudoaneurysms and that endovascular treatment is less invasive and may be effective.
