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

Venous aneurysms are rare vascular malformations that can lead to significant clinical complications, including thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, rupture, and even fatal outcomes when not promptly and adequately managed. This case report presents a liver transplant patient under immunosuppressive therapy who developed a rapidly progressing great saphenous vein aneurysm, ultimately requiring urgent surgical intervention due to acute bleeding from the ruptured aneurysm. Immunosuppression emerges as a potential key factor in the formation and rapid growth of the aneurysm, with the pathophysiological mechanism potentially involving increased expression of specific matrix metalloproteinases. Further research is warranted to gain a better understanding of the role of immunosuppression in the development of venous aneurysms.
