Enormous Aneurysm of the Deep Femoral Artery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Isolated true aneurysms of the deep femoral artery (DFAA) are exceptionally rare clinical entities. This report aims to describe the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic dilemmas associated with a huge 5.3 cm isolated DFAA in a patient with coexisting systemic hematological malignancy. A 77-year-old male patient with multiple myeloma underwent radiographic investigation for skeletal pain, which incidentally identified a 5.3 cm isolated left DFAA. Multi-planar CT angiography (CTA) characterized the lesion as a 10-cm long fusiform aneurysm featuring significant mural thrombus (3.7 cm thick) and irregular luminal ulcerations. Given the high risk of rupture, open surgical excision and ligation were recommended. However, following comprehensive clinical counseling regarding the natural history of the disease, the patient opted for conservative management with watchful waiting. Isolated DFAAs of this magnitude are rare and may be clinically masked by systemic pathologies such as multiple myeloma. This case highlights the diagnostic utility of CTA in characterizing complex vascular lesions and illustrates the ethical challenges that arise when patients decline indicated surgical treatment.
