Decoding the volume-outcome relationship in Type A aortic dissection.
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 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
Over the past few decades, the advents in monitoring, imaging, diagnostics, and implementation of multidisciplinary team approach in Type A aortic dissection surgery resulted in improved surgical outcomes. One other factor that needed to be targeted and carefully analyzed was the volume-outcome relationship on hospital and surgeon level in the settings of Type A dissection. This surely sprung form reports which indicated that supercenters providing aortic services with concentrated expert and expertise were performing better than smaller centers. We dwell in this article on the body of evidence to support concentration of experts and the effect of this organization on volume, referral, and outcome in Type A aortic dissection.
