Endovascular Stent Grafting for Iatrogenic Deep Femoral Artery Injury After Short Femoral Nailing: A Case Report With a Three-Year Follow-Up.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Injury to the deep femoral artery (DFA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of intertrochanteric femoral fracture surgery. We describe a case in which this complication occurred during drilling for the distal screw insertion of a short femoral nail. A 4 cm pseudoaneurysm was treated with stent grafting. Hemostasis was promptly achieved, and no recurrence of the aneurysm was observed over three years. The stent remained intact without fracture or migration. Although the stent lumen became nearly occluded during follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic without signs of lower limb ischemia. This case highlights the utility of stent grafting for managing large pseudoaneurysms in DFA injury, where coil embolization may be unsuitable. In cases of isolated DFA injury, treatment selection should be guided by the clinical indication for pseudoaneurysm management, rather than the objective of preserving long-term arterial patency.
