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

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) pseudoaneurysms are a rare cause of late graft failure with potentially lethal consequences if left untreated. We present the case of a patient who underwent multivessel coronary artery bypass grafting more than 10 years earlier and presented with chest pain. She was found to have a large 10 cm pseudoaneurysm involving the SVG-to-PDA graft. Workup demonstrated compression of the right ventricle by the pseudoaneurysm, a reduced ejection fraction of 27%, and filling of the pseudoaneurysm from the right coronary system without distal graft filling. Given the patient's symptoms, imaging findings, and pseudoaneurysm size, urgent resection and revascularization were performed. Postoperatively, ventricular function improved, and despite a complicated hospital course, the patient was discharged to rehabilitation with intact motor function and subsequent resolution of cardiopulmonary symptoms.
