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

Iatrogenic vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm is rare, yet a critical condition that must be identified and treated promptly. A vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm may cause complications like thromboembolism and even arterial rupture, leading to posterior circulation stroke. We present a case of a 72-year-old male patient with a right vertebral artery pseudoaneurysm following surgery for cervical myelopathy. A pseudoaneurysm in the V2 segment of the right vertebral artery was confirmed by diagnostic angiogram. The patient was transferred to the catheterization laboratory immediately, and the decision to proceed with an endovascular approach using a covered stent to preserve the right vertebral artery was made. The patient did not develop any postsurgical complications and has now fully recovered. This case highlights that emergency endovascular intervention using a covered stent can be a promising therapeutic option in cases of pseudoaneurysms following open surgery.
