Combined CT angiography of the aorta and craniocervical artery: a new imaging protocol for assessment of acute type A aortic dissection.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundTo investigate the feasibility of combined computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the aorta and craniocervical artery in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and the value of incremental craniocervical information.
methodsCombined CTA of head, neck and aorta was performed in patients with suspected aortic dissection and 243 ATAAD patients were analyzed. The image quality and radiation dose were assessed. Valuable craniocervical CTA findings were determined for further surgical analysis.
resultsThe mean dose-length product (DLP) was 314.11±29.31 mGy.cm. The image quality of craniocervical arteries were 100% diagnostic. Intimal flap involving carotid arteries was detected in 47% of patients, and significant stenosis of true lumen was observed in 60% of common carotid arteries (CCAs). Hypodensity and hypoplasia/occlusion of carotid arteries were also detected and apprised surgeons. The tortuosity of carotid artery was found in 90.9% of patients. Bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) was performed in 21.1% of aortic arch surgery based on 7 hemodynamic variation types of the circle of Willis (CW) determined by cranial CTA information.
conclusionsA combined CTA of head, neck and aorta is feasible with low radiation dose and diagnostic image quality. Incremental information on craniocervical pathology and anatomy may be useful for surgery repair of ATAAD.
