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

Ischemia of the spinal cord remains a disastrous complication in thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) surgery. We report a case of open type I TAAA repair during which no motor evoked potentials were detectable for >1 hour after aortic cross-clamping. The creation of three intercostal artery bypasses restored spinal cord perfusion. As the patient showed only moderate clinical signs of spinal cord ischemia afterward, we underline the role of neuromonitoring to guide intercostal artery bypass implantation during TAAA surgery as the combined use of neuromonitoring and intercostal artery bypass implantation may prevent paraplegia in specific TAAA cases.
