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.
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
introductionOversizing of a stent graft limb is one of the risk factors for limb graft occlusion after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms. We report a case of common iliac artery (CIA) aneurysm with a shrunken external iliac artery (EIA) treated with a Gore C3 Excluder (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ, USA) and VBX (W. L. Gore & Associates). CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old man was incidentally diagnosed with a right CIA aneurysm (diameter = 55 mm) on CT examination. He had a history of spinal cord injury at the age of 33 years, which paralyzed the lower part of his body. Owing to disuse atrophy, his right EIA became smaller with a diameter of 5 mm. The patient was treated with a Gore Excluder C3, and to prevent oversizing of the distal landing zone, a 6-mm VBX was used as the right stent graft limb. The postoperative course was uneventful, and 1 year after EVAR, the stent graft limb was patent.
conclusionsThis case report describes successful endovascular treatment using Excluder C3 and VBX for CIA aneurysm with a shrunken EIA. In the case of a small-caliber EIA, the use of VBX may help avoid oversizing of the stent graft limb, which may prevent stent graft limb occlusion.
