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.
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
Background: Patients, who are subjected to a patient's injury, are legally allowed a compensation for their suffering. Aim: The negligence claims after surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) registered in the National Swedish patient insurance company (Landstingens Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag [LÖF]) between 2006 and 2020 were analyzed. More than 95% of negligence claims are covered by LÖF. Special emphasis on avoidable or unavoidable injuries was made. Material: In 15 years 17,000 abdominal aortic interventions were recorded in the Swedish vascular register (SWEDVASC), where vascular interventions in the whole country of Sweden are registered. A total of 151 negligence claims (0.9%) were reported to the insurance company. Available clinical information in the company's file of the claims was analyzed. The SWEDVASC data on AAA treatment were accessible. Results: The number of Endovascular repair (EVAR) increased significantly, but the total number of interventions decreased. There were less claims after EVAR (0.7%) compared to open surgery (1.1%). There was an increase in avoidable injuries that were economically compensated ( Conclusion: The increase in the number of
