Endovascular Occlusion of an External Iliac Artery Rupture as an Alternative to Open Vascular Surgery.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 5-month-old (5.7 kg) infant with trisomy 21 suffered an external iliac artery (EIA) rupture following femoral arterial access for attempted percutaneous retrograde ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure. An endovascular occlusion approach was employed as an alternative to high-risk open vascular surgery. The infant experienced a cardiac arrest during anaesthetic induction, with angiography revealing active EIA bleeding. The vessel was successfully occluded with an Amplatzer Piccolo device, with distal perfusion likely preserved with collateralisation via the internal iliac artery. Recovery was uneventful, with good perfusion of the right leg, though at 4-month follow-up, there is a mild limb-length discrepancy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of emergency endovascular EIA occlusion in an infant following cardiac catheterisation as an alternative to open surgery.
