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

A 52-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency department with a suspected diagnosis of a thoracic disc prolapse. She presented with acute thoracic and vertebral pain of sudden onset that increased on movement and change of body position. An emergency echocardiography that was performed at the bedside showed aortic insufficiency, dilation of the aortic root, and membrane dissection in the ascending aorta. A thoracic contrast-enhanced CT angiogram verified acute aortic dissection Stanford type A, which resulted in immediate referral to the department of cardiothoracic surgery for an emergency replacement of the ascending aorta. In the emergency department, emergency bedside echocardiography facilitates the rapid evaluation of potential differential diagnoses in patients presenting with acute thoracic pain.
