Abdominal Stent Graft Numerical Models to Virtually Simulate Endovascular Aortic Repair: A Scoping Review.
Review in EJVES vascular forum, 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
Introduction: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a common procedure used to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms. This scoping review aimed to identify the numerical methods currently available in the literature to analyse the surgical applicability and credibility of this procedure from a structural and fluid dynamic perspective. Method: PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews were followed. Data were analysed and summarised in tables. Quality assessment was performed using a 14 item rating rubric. Results: This scoping review identified 28 articles published in the last 10 years. Most of these articles were of intermediate to good quality. Seventeen articles (61%) focused on post-EVAR haemodynamics, performing computational fluid dynamics simulations. Six articles (21%) aimed to develop new methods to reproduce the EVAR procedure through finite element analysis. Five articles (18%) addressed the coupling between fluids and structures by performing a fluid-structure interaction simulation of the EVAR procedure. Studies using computational fluid dynamics demonstrated a more homogeneous approach in the selection of blood models, discretisation, and boundary conditions. Studies using finite element analysis adopted different strategies to reproduce the EVAR procedure Conclusion: This review provides an overview of the existing computational models to reproduce the EVAR procedure. Although promising, these simulation techniques remain largely in the developmental phase, and robust clinical validation is lacking. Future studies should incorporate clinically relevant outcome data to enhance the credibility and translational value of these models.
