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

Endovascular coil embolization is an effective, minimally invasive technique used to treat visceral pseudoaneurysms. Although rare, post-procedural infections such as bacteremia and infective endocarditis (IE) can occur, particularly in patients with underlying malignancy, valvular abnormalities, or immunosuppression. Early recognition and intervention are critical to preventing serious complications. A 52-year-old male with a history of renal cell carcinoma (post left nephrectomy) and a known heart murmur presented to the hospital with worsening left-sided abdominal pain. Imaging revealed multiple visceral pseudoaneurysms involving the hepatic, splenic, and mesenteric arteries. He underwent successful coil and glue embolization. Further workup with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed severe mitral regurgitation with vegetations and a flail posterior mitral leaflet. Blood cultures obtained after the embolization procedure were positive for
