Superficial venous aneurysms: a case-based review.
Article in Archives of medical sciences. Atherosclerotic diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Superficial venous aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are uncommon, frequently misdiagnosed lesions. Despite their usually benign nature, both entities can present with complications, such as thrombosis and rupture. We present a 62-year-old male patient with a superficial venous aneurysm on the dorsal aspect of his hand, successfully managed with surgical excision. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of a true venous aneurysm. A comprehensive literature review identified 22 superficial venous aneurysms and 9 upper extremity pseudoaneurysms. Diagnosis relies mainly on duplex ultrasonography. Currently, no standardized management guidelines exist. Surgical excision remains the preferred treatment, while sclerotherapy and endovenous ablation may be appropriate alternatives in certain cases. Heightened clinical awareness and further research are essential to developing evidence-based management strategies and optimizing therapeutic outcomes.
