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

Chronic contained rupture (CCR) of an abdominal aortic aneurysm rarely causes hydronephrosis and may mimic retroperitoneal malignancy. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman presenting with hydronephrosis caused by a CCR-related hematoma and an accessory renal artery originating from the terminal aorta. Biopsies excluded malignancy. Because endovascular repair carried a risk of type II endoleak and renal ischemia, open aneurysm repair with direct arterial reimplantation was performed. This approach relieved ureteral compression, achieved definitive aneurysm exclusion, and preserved renal perfusion. CCR should be considered in the differential diagnosis of irregular retroperitoneal masses associated with hydronephrosis.
