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

Background and aims: Infectious aneurysm is an aneurysm of the arteries originating from endogenous bacteraemia due to bacterial or fungal origin. The major vessels involved are femoral, aorta, then intracranial visceral arteries and pulmonary arteries. These aneurysms are identified by their fusiform shape, multiple, distal location involving the entire wall of the vessel and changing morphology on repeat imaging studies. The study aims to discuss the clinical presentation & management of post infectious aneurysms. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 11 case series of postinfectious aneurysms over a period of 10 years admitted at a tertiary care hospital. The detailed clinical data that included the clinical presentation, diagnostic and treatment was studied from the hospital medical records department and laboratory information system. Results: Among the 11 patients diagnosed with aneurysms, 4 presented with intracranial, 4 with intra pulmonary and 3 with intra-abdominal aortic aneurysms involvement. Source was either of bacterial cause such as Conclusion: High index of suspicion in patients presenting with fever, elevated C-reactive protein, ESR, total counts with sudden development of atypical aneurysms requires timely blood culture pre and post procedure. Definitive surgical/endovascular under antibiotic coverage at the earliest is a prerequisite in the management to prevent re-rupture.
