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

This report discusses the management of iatrogenic injuries to the iliac vein confluence that occurred during open aortic reconstruction in two patients. Both patients underwent open aortic reconstruction via a midline transperitoneal approach with suprarenal aortic control during which injuries to the common iliac vein occurred that propagated to the confluence. The injuries were repaired using cardiopulmonary bypass with mild to moderate hypothermia to control blood flow and blood pressure, allowing for optimal exposure and visualization of the injuries for successful repair. The low-flow/low-pressure state, along with drop suction tips in the injured vein segment, facilitated visualization of the injury, enabling patch angioplasty. Additionally, the immediate return of lost blood mitigated the adverse effects of massive blood loss and transfusion requirements. Mild to moderate hypothermia also provided protection against ischemic neurological injury. Cardiopulmonary bypass may serve as a life-saving adjunct in managing this highly lethal complication.
