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

In this work, we describe the case of a 63-year-old man, with a history of infective endocarditis, who presented with abdominal pain, significant weight loss, and recurrent diarrheal episodes over the preceding months. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography demonstrated a large pseudoaneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery, located in the mid-segment of the vessel, with poor opacification of the distal branches. The patient underwent surgical management via midline laparotomy. This case report aims to highlight the role of open surgical repair in the management of visceral artery pseudoaneurysms, as this approach allows preservation of major collateral branches and enables thorough histopathological examination to assess the underlying etiology of the lesion.
