Aortic malignancy masquerading as infrarenal aortitis: A diagnostic challenge.
Article in Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques, 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
Primary retroperitoneal aortic sarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy and may closely mimic inflammatory or infectious aortitis on clinical assessment and imaging. An 89-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, and periaortic inflammatory change on computed tomography, raising concern for aortitis with possible impending rupture. Urgent endovascular aortic repair was performed. Despite antimicrobial and immunosuppressive therapy, symptoms and radiographic findings progressed. Subsequent computed tomography-guided biopsy demonstrated a high-grade retroperitoneal aortic sarcoma. The presence of the stent graft influenced perceived procedural safety and allowed tissue diagnosis that had initially been deferred. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by malignant aortic disease presenting as presumed aortitis and underscores the importance of maintaining diagnostic vigilance in atypical cases.
