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

Splenic artery aneurysm with arteriovenous fistula is rare and technically challenging, particularly in the setting of marked tortuosity and high-flow shunting. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman treated with a fully endovascular approach guided by intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography. A dual microcatheter technique enabled targeted deployment of detachable coils followed by Onyx embolization, achieving complete fistula occlusion while preserving collateral splenic perfusion through short gastric arteries. The procedure was completed without complications, and the patient was discharged the following day. Advanced endovascular techniques offer a safe and effective alternative for complex visceral vascular pathology.
