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

Objectives: This study aimed to identify anatomical predictors of aneurysm enlargement in patients with lumbar artery (LA)-related type 2 endoleak (T2EL) after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included 59 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms who developed T2EL caused exclusively by LAs after EVAR between January 2019 and July 2024. Computed tomography-based anatomical parameters, including mural thrombus volume ratio, calcified volume ratio, aneurysm diameter, and LA anatomy, were analyzed. Results: During a median follow-up of 33 months, aneurysm enlargement occurred in 9 patients (15.3%). Patients with aneurysm enlargement had a significantly lower mural thrombus volume ratio ( Conclusions: A low preoperative mural thrombus volume ratio was associated with aneurysm enlargement in patients with LA-related T2EL after EVAR. This parameter may serve as a practical imaging biomarker to support selective consideration of preemptive embolization.
