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 mesenteric artery (IMA) aneurysms are rare visceral artery aneurysms. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with multiple comorbidities who presented with rectal bleeding and was found to have a 7 cm IMA aneurysm with an associated IMA inferior mesenteric vein arteriovenous fistula. Given the aneurysm size and rupture risk, the patient underwent successful endovascular coil embolization with complete occlusion of the aneurysm and fistula on completion angiography. This case highlights the rare coexistence of an IMA aneurysm and an IMA inferior mesenteric vein arteriovenous fistula, for which the temporal and causal relationship remains uncertain, and supports the efficacy of endovascular coil embolization in high-risk patients.
