[Aortic dissection - a not so rare disease].

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
background and purposeAcute aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease with a high rate of mortality. The dissection of the artery with a distal blood flow can explain the variable and changeable symptoms. Aortic dissections require immediate diagnosis and therapy.
methodsIn the Institute of Legal Medicine of the Hannover Medical School, 34 cases of aortic dissection were found during autopsy between 2006 and 2009. The cases were analysed retrospectively.
resultsIn the majority of cases (55.9%) an antemortem medical consultation has taken place. In only one case an aortic dissection could be diagnosed at a later time.
conclusionKey in the management of acute aortic dissection is to maintain a high clinical index of suspicion for this diagnosis. Etiologically hereditary diseases (Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome) should be taken into consideration as a possible cause. In all unexpected deaths of young adults an autopsy should be performed to detect the cause of death and for genetic testing to provide information for the relatives in case an aortic aneurysm can be found.
