A typical etiology of a common carotid artery aneurysm: diagnostic and therapeutic insights from a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Carotid artery aneurysms are rare, accounting for only 0.4% to 4% of all peripheral artery aneurysms, and can present with non-specific symptoms. We report a case of a 38-year-old male who presented with a 2-week history of a tender, pulsatile left neck mass. He had no history of trauma, infection, or connective tissue disease, but was an active smoker. Clinical examination and contrast-enhanced CT angiography revealed a 2.1 cm aneurysm of the left common carotid artery. The patient underwent successful open surgical repair using a reversed great saphenous vein interposition graft. Histopathological examination of the aneurysm wall and a comprehensive vasculitis workup were unremarkable. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and remained asymptomatic on follow-up. This case highlights the importance of early imaging and surgical intervention in managing carotid artery aneurysms to prevent potentially catastrophic complications.
