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

Various methods for surgical repair of the aortic arch are described throughout the literature with many focused on cannulation techniques and degree of systemic cooling in an effort to reduce postoperative morbidities. Despite advancements in techniques, this surgery is still often associated with higher levels of blood loss and subsequent allogenic blood transfusions. Although blood products can be safely transfused to the majority of patients undergoing repair of the aortic arch, the complexity and risk is further multiplied when the patient is of Jehovah's Witness faith and refuses blood transfusions. This paper will detail our technique of surgical repair of the aortic arch in a Jehovah's Witness patient with dual aortic cannulation and our multidisciplinary approach to avoiding blood products.
