False Lumen Status in Patients With Acute Aortic Dissection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 42 papers.
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
backgroundThe long-term association between the status of the false lumen and poor patient outcomes in acute aortic dissection (AAD) remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated whether the status of the false lumen was a predictor of poor long-term survival in AAD. METHODS AND
resultsEleven cohort studies (2924 participants) exploring the association between the false lumen status and long-term outcomes (>1 year) in AAD were included. All studies reported multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for long-term outcomes, according to false lumen status. Pooled HRs for mortality and aortic events were computed and weighted using generic inverse-variance and random-effect modeling. Residual patent false lumen was an independent predictor of long-term mortality in AAD type A (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.16-2.52; P=0.007) and type B (HR, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.80-4.32; P<0.001). AAD patients with residual patent false lumen exhibited an increased risk of aortic events (HR, 5.43; 95% CI, 2.95-9.99; P<0.001). Partial false lumen thrombosis was independently associated with long-term mortality in type B AAD (HR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.37-3.65; P=0.001). This association was not observed in AAD type A patients (HR, 1.75; 95% CI, 0.88-3.45; P=0.211).
conclusionsThe false lumen status influences late outcomes in AAD. Residual patent false lumen is independently associated with poor long-term survival in AAD. However, only type B AAD patients with partial false lumen thrombosis had an increased late mortality risk.
