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 rare vascular abnormalities, with branch aneurysms being even more uncommon. Spontaneous rupture of a branch RAA without prior trauma, infection, or known risk factors is extremely rare and can be life-threatening. We report a case of a previously healthy 22-year-old male patient who presented with sudden left flank pain and hematuria. Initial imaging revealed a large retroperitoneal hematoma; however, the source of bleeding was not immediately apparent. Following conservative management, a delayed contrast-enhanced CT and angiography identified a ruptured left renal artery branch aneurysm. The patient was successfully treated with coil embolization and recovered uneventfully. This case highlights the importance of considering RAA rupture in young patients with spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage, supports the role of conservative management with close observation, and the role of angiographic embolization in cases of unclear bleeding sources.
