Delayed Discovery and Repair of a Traumatic Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) 58 Years After a Combat Explosion.

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
An acquired arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormal connection between the arterial and venous systems, with delayed clinical presentation being rare. We present a 79-year-old male patient who was incidentally found to have a right iliac arteriovenous fistula (AVF) during imaging workup concerning for appendicitis, which would have been a rare diagnosis for a patient in this age group. He denied symptoms suggestive of a fistula and had a normal physical exam, making this an unusual asymptomatic presentation discovered 58 years after a combat blast injury. Endovascular repair required through-and-through vascular access and the deployment of an Amplatzer vascular plug for complete occlusion. Follow-up imaging confirmed decreased venous filling of the AVF, and the patient remains complication-free. This case highlights the need to be vigilant in patients with a history of remote trauma and the effectiveness of endovascular management for large AVFs.
