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

Inferior phrenic artery aneurysms (IPAAs) are extremely rare, with only 17 reported cases. Most were diagnosed following ruptured, and developed secondary to trauma, surgery, or pancreatitis. We report a case of an asymptomatic unruptured IPAA treated endovascularly. A 73-year-old man without a history of laparotomy, trauma, or pancreatitis had a 6.8-mm saccular IPAA identified incidentally on computed tomography angiography during a comprehensive health checkup. Coil embolization was successfully performed without complications. Given the rarity of IPAAs, a gold standard therapy has not been established. However, endovascular therapy appears to be a safe and effective treatment option.
