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

Giant abdominal aortic aneurysms (GAAAs) are extremely uncommon and carry a markedly increased risk of rupture. Their complex anatomy presents significant challenges for surgical management. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has emerged as an increasingly utilized alternative in appropriately selected patients with favorable anatomy. We present the case of a 72-year-old male presenting with a non-ruptured, 12.8 cm infrarenal fusiform GAAA, successfully managed with elective EVAR using an Anaconda LoPro90 trimodular bifurcated endograft system (Terumo Aortic, Inchinnan, Scotland). We describe the clinical and radiologic features, technical approach, intraoperative challenges, and 10-month follow-up. EVAR using a bifurcated Anaconda endograft is a feasible and safe option for anatomically suitable GAAA patients, even in the presence of complex features such as angulated necks and iliac involvement. Further studies are warranted to establish long-term durability and optimal management protocols for GAAA.
