Type III endoleaks following endovascular aortic repair: a case series.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Type III endoleaks, from disconnection between modular stent-graft components (type IIIa) or fabric defects within a limb (type IIIb), are uncommon but potentially life-threatening, transmitting systemic pressure into the aneurysm sac and carrying a high rupture risk. We describe three men with late type III endoleak failure after complex thoracic aortic repair. One presented with rupture at a mid-thoracic modular overlap, salvaged by emergency relining via a hostile femoral cut-down. A second, under surveillance for an asymptomatic endoleak managed conservatively given a static sac, later ruptured at a separate site and died despite emergency relining. A third developed a type IIIb fabric failure in a highly angulated aortic arch, salvaged using a conformable stent-graft and left-ventricular through-and-through wire support. These cases show type III endoleaks may be radiologically subtle yet rapidly fatal, sac stability alone should not determine management, and complex arch morphology demands tailored device selection and access planning.
