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

Iatrogenic vascular injury, particularly to the superior gluteal artery (SGA), though rare, represents a critical complication of bone marrow biopsy due to the artery's anatomical vulnerability during the procedure. This vulnerability can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage, retroperitoneal or gluteal hematomas, pseudoaneurysms, or compartment syndrome. The SGA's anatomy, which is not easily accessible via open surgery, makes endovascular therapy the preferred intervention. Temporary balloon occlusion is 1 endovascular option; it preserves collateral circulation, unlike permanent coils or stents, which carry risks of thrombosis or stenosis. Published literature supports endovascular approaches, demonstrating high success rates with fewer complications despite technical complexity. We report a case of a 41-year-old male with precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia who sustained a rare SGA injury during a routine bone marrow biopsy at the posterior superior iliac crest and was successfully managed endovascularly.
