The IRAD and beyond: what have we unravelled so far?
Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and a long history of challenges to both diagnose and manage this condition successfully. The International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD) was established in 1996 as a global database to understand this old disease better and improve care for dissection. IRAD initially targeted various areas including etiological factors of dissection, modes of presentation, clinical features, physical findings, imaging, management, and outcomes, and is currently branching out in more specific fields such as endovascular intervention, genetic profiling, and functional imaging. Although presenting symptoms and physical findings have not changed significantly over two decades, the widespread use of computed tomography is standard and has improved the diagnostic pathway. Moreover, more patients are managed with appropriate procedures, such as surgery in type A, and endovascular therapy in subsets of type B aortic dissection. With these ongoing improvements in swift diagnostic work-up and therapeutic care, fewer patients are not getting appropriate treatment and more patients survive once they reach hospital.
