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

Objective: Endograft explantation is associated with high morbidity and mortality, driven in part by uncontrolled shear-mediated aortic injury. In this study, we evaluated whether a mechanism-based explantation device could reduce this injury and improve the procedural performance. Methods: In a controlled simulation using a multilayered three-dimensional printed aortic model, 25 vascular trainees and surgeons performed endograft explantation using both a conventional syringe technique and a novel device (EndoEx). The outcomes included quantitative intimal injury, procedure time, and validated usability metrics. Results: The EndoEx device reduced intimal injury by approximately 90% compared with the syringe technique (0.94% vs 9.56%; Conclusions: In this controlled simulation, a mechanism-based explantation strategy (EndoEx) markedly reduced shear-mediated aortic injury while improving operator control. These findings support further in vivo evaluation and establish a mechanistic foundation for a device-based approach to endovascular aneurysm repair explantation that warrants clinical validation.
