Lower Extremity Arterial Occlusive Disease and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Crohn's Disease: 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. 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
Crohn's disease (CD) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the small intestine and colon. Patients with CD may develop extra-intestinal manifestations; however, vascular involvement has been rarely reported. Herein, we present the case of a patient with CD who developed multiple arterial complications, including lower extremity arterial occlusions and an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A 42-year-old man with CD presented with back pain. He also had a history of bilateral iliac artery occlusions that were refractory to revascularization procedures. Enhanced computed tomography revealed an irregularly shaped AAA with a maximum axial diameter of 72 × 52 mm. The patient underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for the AAA via the left axillary access, and the postoperative course was uneventful. At seven years postoperatively, significant shrinkage of the aneurysm was maintained, and his CD remained in remission. The present case suggests that patients with CD can develop AAA as a rare extra-intestinal manifestation. Significant aneurysm shrinkage was achieved following EVAR.
