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

introductionAbdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a serious complication that can occur after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA). Prompt recognition and appropriate management are crucial to improve patient outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: An octogenarian with an 11-cm rAAA underwent emergent EVAR due to cardiovascular instability. Postoperatively, the patient developed ACS, necessitating open abdominal management (OAM) due to intestinal edema and retroperitoneal hematoma. Despite multiple surgical interventions, including aneurysmorrhaphy and removal of retroperitoneal hematoma, the patient experienced prolonged difficulty in abdominal closure. The following procedures were attempted for abdominal closure: 1) Dissection of skin and subcutaneous tissues from the rectus sheath on both sides. 2) Release of the external oblique muscle from the anterior layer of the rectus by longitudinally cutting the superficial fascia. 3) Closure of both rectus sheaths with horizontal mattress sutures and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). On POD 20, fluid accumulation from bleeding complicated abdominal closure. However, the abdominal wall was successfully closed by achieving hemostasis and using NPWT. Despite these efforts, the patient developed multiple organ failure, including respiratory and renal failure. Sepsis ultimately led to the patient's death on the 80th POD.

conclusionsACS following EVAR for rAAA significantly impacts patient prognosis. Specific techniques for abdominal closure, as described in this case, may help minimize the duration of OAM in challenging cases.
