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
Objective: In situ fenestration (ISF) is a technique for fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR) that can be used for urgent repairs of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) when there is an inadequate infrarenal landing zone for use of a conventional aortic endograft. It involves deliberate endograft coverage of indispensable branch vessels with ISF of the endograft fabric followed by a bridging covered stent. The aim of this series was to review the indications, early clinical outcomes, and technical feasibility of ISF technique for FEVAR of complex AAAs. Methods: This single-center retrospective case series included all patients with complex aortic aneurysms involving visceral branch vessels requiring urgent repair who were selected for FEVAR using the ISF technique. Briefly, the minimum length of proximal landing zone was determined for each patient. The branch vessels in this segment were prestented as radiographic markers. A polyester-based endograft was fully deployed. Using a steerable sheath, fenestrations were created using a CVX-300 excimer laser and covered, balloon-expandable stents were used to restore perfusion to the target vessels. Results: From February 2023 to December 2024, 12 patients underwent ISF-FEVAR with 33 intended target vessels. Technical success per Society for Vascular Surgery reporting standards was 91% (30/33). Perioperative complications included 30-day mortality (n = 2), failure to create a fenestration (n = 1), target vessel dissection (n = 2), transient acute kidney injury (n = 1), spinal cord ischemia (n = 1), and femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (n = 1). There were one type II (n = 1) and one type IIIb endoleak at 1 month, and three secondary interventions performed during the follow-up period. There was no aneurysm growth and one patient experienced sac shrinkage. Conclusions: ISF of aortic stent grafts is a feasible and useful technique for urgent FEVAR of complex AAAs.
