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 90-year-old woman underwent aortouni-iliac endovascular aortic repair and simultaneous embolization of the left common iliac artery using a vascular plug for an impending rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The aortic aneurysm diameter gradually increased after the procedure, and an endoleak through the vascular plug in the left common iliac artery was observed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Using a highly penetrating microsystem to penetrate the mesh of the vascular plug, metallic coils were placed inside and around the vascular plug. Using a triple coaxial system, the proximal portion of the left common iliac artery and the endoleak cavity of the aneurysm were embolized with 20% n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate‒Lipiodol mixture via collateral arteries. The endoleak disappeared after transcatheter embolization. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in which transcatheter embolization with metallic coils using a highly penetrating microsystem was performed to treat an endoleak through a vascular plug following endovascular aortic repair with an aortouni-iliac device and simultaneous embolization of the contralateral common iliac artery.
