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

backgroundCustom-made fenestrated endografts are an established endovascular treatment for juxtarenal aortic aneurysms. Recently, physician-modified endografts have become more frequently used to accommodate complex anatomies in acute settings. CASE SUMMARY: A 77-year-old man with previous open infrarenal repair with a tube graft developed proximal and distal anastomotic aneurysms, requiring bifurcated fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (FEVAR) for aneurysm exclusion. A custom 4-fenestration instead of 5-fenestration FEVAR was planned and manufactured. Intraoperative angiography revealed an additional lower right renal artery. To preserve it, a physician-modified iliac limb with a single fenestration was created intraoperatively. Completion angiography confirmed aneurysm exclusion, proper graft positioning and sealing, and the absence of type I and III endoleaks. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the importance of physician modification as an adjunctive alternative during complex endovascular procedures. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Physician-modified endografts can salvage incomplete custom-made FEVAR planning without partially sacrificing kidney function.
