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

We report a case of a gunshot wound retrohepatic inferior vena cava injury treated with an aortic endograft that subsequently migrated into the right atrium, which was successfully treated with right atrial opening and stent fixation under cardiopulmonary bypass. This case highlights the potential utility of off-label aortic endografts in managing complex retrohepatic inferior vena cava injuries as a highly effective alternative to the historically morbid atriocaval Schrock shunt. The high location of the injury, near the right atrium, underscores the technical difficulty and need for multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve a successful outcome.
