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

Femoral artery aneurysm and rupture are rare. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from compression typically aids in detection, yet this aneurysm evaded ultrasound. A 74-year-old male with right thigh pain and swelling was diagnosed with right popliteal and femoral vein DVT. He presented to the emergency department with worsening pain and swelling in the medial thigh despite anticoagulation. Imaging revealed a 12-cm ruptured superficial femoral artery (SFA) aneurysm. A SFA to below-knee popliteal artery bypass was performed without postoperative complications. Vascular labs and practitioners should consider peripheral aneurysm as a rare but important cause for DVT that is unresponsive to anticoagulation.
