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

A case of late type IA endoleak is reported. The endoleak occurred approximately 1 year after successful treatment of a type IB endoleak with iliac branch device implantation in a patient who had undergone endovascular aneurysm repair 10 years earlier for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with severe neck angulation. The patient underwent secondary endovascular revision, which proved ineffective, with persistence of the endoleak and progressive aneurysm sac enlargement. A minimally invasive open surgical approach with endograft preservation, consisting of external proximal aortic neck banding, was therefore undertaken. Complete resolution of the endoleak was achieved and confirmed intraoperatively by duplex ultrasound. This case highlights the role of aortic neck banding as an effective salvage strategy for type IA endoleak refractory to endovascular treatment and the potential role of duplex ultrasound as a diagnostic gold standard in the intra- and postoperative periods.
