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

Cystic medial degeneration is a rare process that can cause aneurysmal degeneration of arteries including the aorta, iliac arteries, femoral arteries, and popliteal arteries. In this report we discuss a case of a popliteal artery aneurysm caused by cystic medial necrosis that led to distal embolization. Right lower extremity excision of the popliteal artery aneurysm with placement of an interposition graft using reversed great saphenous vein was used in our case and can be used in other cases for treatment and prevention of further embolization.
