Figure 3. Strengths and weaknesses of studies included in this systematic review.

The yellow and red colored cells represent criteria, which were and not met in each study respectively. For the sample size criterion, red colored cells represent studies that had a sample size <100 and yellow‐colored cells represent studies that had sample sizes >100. The green colored cells represent criteria that were partially met in each study. A blue colored cell was used if it was unclear whether a criterion was met by a study. AAA indicates abdominal aortic aneurysm; CT, computed tomography; PWRI, peak wall rupture index; and PWS, peak wall stress. *AAA rupture cases were identified using an International Classification; **cases and controls matched for age and sex; ^†reproducibility reported in an external publication; ^††cases and controls matched for blood pressure; ^‡cases and controls were not matched by study design although AAA diameter was similar between groups; ^‡‡in this study blood pressure was omitted from biomechanical calculations; ^#PWS not assessed in this study.
