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

Introduction: Wall derived atypical type II endoleak (aT2EL) is characterised by aneurysm sac enlargement with delayed phase mural enhancement in the absence of conventional branch feeders. Comprehensive clinicopathological correlation is rare. Report: A 76 year old man presented with progressive sac growth 10 years after infrarenal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) with previous inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) and right internal iliac artery embolisation at the index procedure, and additional embolisation for a recurrent IMA related type II endoleak at five years. Pre-conversion computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed no patent IMA or lumbar arteries but showed patchy delayed phase enhancement of the mural thrombus. Open conversion demonstrated multiple sites of diffuse oozing from the luminal (intimal) surface of the aneurysm wall without branch inflow or endograft defect. Histopathology identified a distinctive triad: extensive intimal denudation, media exposure with luminally oriented microvessels, and adventitial vasa vasorum proliferation. Targeted sacotomy with selective oversewing was performed while preserving the endograft. Recovery was uneventful. Follow up CTA at three years demonstrated sustained sac reduction without residual endoleak. Discussion: Integration of delayed phase imaging, direct intra-operative luminal wall oozing, and a histopathological triad supports a vasa vasorum mediated mechanism for wall derived aT2EL. Recognising this pattern can guide surgical planning towards sacotomy with selective haemostasis and endograft preservation, and supports incorporating delayed phase CTA or time resolved contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography into post-EVAR surveillance.
