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
Introduction: Intramedullary nailing is a widely accepted and effective treatment for tibial shaft fractures. Anterior tibial artery (ATA) pseudoaneurysms caused by interlocking screws are exceedingly uncommon, with only a few cases reported in the literature. Case Report: We present the case of a 56-year-old male who developed worsening swelling and pain in his left lower extremity 8 months after undergoing intramedullary nailing for a tibial shaft fracture. Doppler ultrasound revealed an ATA pseudoaneurysm with characteristic imaging findings, which was confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA). The patient was treated with coil embolization of the ATA pseudoaneurysm, followed by surgical evacuation of the thrombus. The post-operative course was uncomplicated, and the patient recovered well.ATA pseudoaneurysm related to tibial nailing can be easily overlooked due to expected post-operative edema and swelling. Early detection through Doppler ultrasound and CTA is essential. Treatment options range from non-invasive methods to open surgery and endovascular interventions. In this case, a combination of coil embolization and surgical hematoma evacuation proved to be a minimally invasive and effective approach. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering rare vascular complications after tibial nailing. Timely diagnosis and endovascular treatment approaches can lead to successful outcomes.
