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

Complete endograft occlusion involving the main body and both limbs after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is rare, and the optimal treatment remains unclear. We report an 85-year-old male with late complete endograft occlusion after EVAR for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Computed tomography (CT) showed complete thrombotic occlusion extending from just below the renal arteries to both iliac limbs and distally to the level of the external iliac arteries. A hybrid procedure was performed. After proximal recanalization under right renal artery protection, thrombectomy was performed through the left groin. Next, unilateral endograft relining was carried out using Ovation iX limbs, followed by femoro-femoral bypass. Postoperative CT confirmed patency of the relined limb, femoro-femoral bypass, and left external iliac artery reconstruction, with preserved bilateral renal perfusion. The ankle-brachial index improved from 0.58/0.49 to 0.95/0.88. Hybrid revascularization based on unilateral inflow reconstruction may be an effective option for selected patients with this rare complication.
