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

These clinical practice guidelines (CPG) were developed by the Korean Society for Vascular Surgery to provide evidence-based recommendations for the management and post-treatment surveillance of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The guidelines were developed by a multidisciplinary guideline working committee of 19 members, including vascular surgeons and methodological experts. A total of 18 key clinical questions focusing on AAA management and surveillance after treatment were selected. Based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses of the available literature, literature searches were performed in MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Central, and KoreaMed up to February 3, 2022. Additional searches for two questions were conducted in September 2022 and December 2023. Recommendations were formulated through structured evidence review and consensus, following a Cochrane-based grading system with modifications in terminology and structure. Eighteen recommendations were made, covering surgical indications, comparison of open surgical repair and endovascular aneurysm repair, postoperative complication management, and surveillance strategies. Each recommendation was assigned a strength (strong or conditional) and direction (do or do not), along with an evidence level (high, moderate, low, or very low). These CPGs provide a structured, evidence-based framework to guide clinical decision-making in the management of AAAs.
