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

We report the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of a rare giant superior vena cava (SVC) aneurysm in a 39-year-old woman, managed through a combination of surgical and interventional techniques. The patient underwent off-pump SVC aneurysmorrhaphy without cardiopulmonary bypass, followed by balloon angioplasty to address early postoperative stenosis manifested by facial cyanosis. The interventions resulted in complete symptom resolution and durable vessel patency, as confirmed by computed tomography at 3 months and maintained at 1 year. This case highlights that off-pump aneurysmorrhaphy offers a safe, organ-preserving option for large SVC aneurysms with minimal thrombus, and balloon angioplasty serves as an effective salvage therapy for postoperative stenosis. An integrated surgical-interventional strategy, coupled with standardized anticoagulation and imaging follow-up, may optimize outcomes in this rare vascular condition.
