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

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a standard treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms but is associated with late graft-related complications. Type IIIb endoleaks caused by graft fabric failure are rare and potentially fatal. We report two cases of late type IIIb endoleaks occurring 60 and 48 months after endovascular aneurysm repair using Endurant (Medtronic, Inc.) and GORE EXCLUDER (W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc.) stent grafts, respectively. Diagnosis was challenging because of limited imaging sensitivity. Both cases highlight the persistent risk of late graft failure and underscore the continued role of open surgical repair as a definitive treatment option.
