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

introductionSubclavian artery pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of blunt thoracic trauma with high mortality and incidence of long-term disability. CASE REPORT: We describe a 49-year-old female who suffered a midshaft clavicle fracture after a motorcycle collision who presented five weeks later with right arm weakness, paresthesias, and persistent clavicle pain and swelling. She was diagnosed with a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm on point-of-care ultrasound performed in the emergency department, which was confirmed with computed tomography angiography. She underwent endovascular stenting but continued to suffer from long-term neurologic deficits related to her condition.

conclusionThis case underscores that the diagnosis of subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm requires a high index of suspicion. In addition, the case also highlights the utility of point-of-care ultrasound as a modality that can assist in arriving at the diagnosis.
