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

Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are rare but potentially fatal vascular lesions. Endovascular treatment is the current standard of care, but concerns remain regarding its long-term durability. Recurrence after initial coil embolization, although uncommon, can occur several years later and poses significant re-treatment challenges. We report the case of an 83-year-old male patient with a large recurrent HAA detected seven years after initial coil embolization. The patient was asymptomatic at recurrence and was treated with a combined endovascular approach, including supplementary coil embolization of the aneurysm sac and deployment of a covered stent to exclude the lesion while preserving distal hepatic arterial flow. This case highlights the potential for very late recurrence following coil embolization and underscores the importance of prolonged imaging surveillance. Combined endovascular therapy can provide safe and effective aneurysm exclusion in complex recurrent cases.
