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

purposeTo summarize and describe the clinical characteristics of brucellosis (involving the aortic and iliac arteries) in patients admitted to our center over the past 10 years, and to review the literature on the diagnosis and treatment of brucellosis involving the aortic and iliac arteries. This may assist in optimizing clinical management strategies for the disease. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study was designed as a single-institution observational case series study. The medical records of patients with a diagnosis of brucellosis at our center between January 2014 and January 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) aged 18 years or older; (2) the lesion involved the aorta or iliac artery; and (3) patients were followed up for at least 1 month after discharge.

resultsA total of 24 patients were enrolled in this study. Urgent endovascular repair for aneurysms was successfully administered to all patients. During a follow-up period ranging from 2 months to 7 years, the patients achieved an overall survival rate of 83.33% (20/24). There were 4 mortalities reported, with 2 patients succumbing to gastrointestinal hemorrhage, one to renal failure, and another to septic shock consequent to stent infection postoperatively.

conclusionsEndovascular aortic repair, in conjunction with targeted antimicrobial therapy against Brucella, may be a feasible method for treating brucellosis involving the aortic and iliac arteries.
