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

Venous aneurysms (VAs) are uncommon vascular abnormalities characterized by a focal dilation of a vein, wherein the vessel is markedly enlarged compared to its original size. VAs can be classified as either superficial or deep. A 60-year-old female patient presented with a 25-year history of a spontaneous VA on her wrist. Throughout this duration, the patient experienced no pain, only mild discomfort. The aneurysm was superficial, subcutaneous, and diagnosed through clinical examination. Surgical ligation and excision were performed under local anesthesia. Swellings at this site on the wrist can be due to a ganglion, arteriovenous (A-V) fistula, implantation dermoid, or sebaceous cyst; however, this uncommon VA had distinctive clinical features. VAs are often diagnosed using duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance venography, and blood tests. Definitive treatment involves surgical ligation and excision of the aneurysm.
