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

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant condition that is caused by abnormal synthesis of connective tissue. The syndrome classically affects the ocular, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems. The most common cardiovascular manifestations include mitral valve prolapse/regurgitation and aortic aneurysms at high risk of rupture and dissection. However, internal mammary artery (IMA) true aneurysms are rarely reported. In this case report, we describe a 43-year-old male patient with MFS and three previous thoracotomies referred for endovascular repair of bilateral IMA true aneurysms. To the best of our knowledge, there are no cases of endovascular treatment of bilateral IMA true aneurysms reported in the literature.
