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

backgroundThe relationship between aortic dissection and coronary artery disease is not clear. The purpose of this study was to clarify the difference in the rate of coronary artery atherosclerosis between Stanford type A and type B aortic dissection by reviewing our institutional database.

methodsOne hundred and forty-five patients (78 males, 67 females; mean age: 60 ± 12 years) admitted to our hospital with acute aortic dissection who underwent coronary angiography during hospitalization from 2000 through 2002 were enrolled in this study. The background characteristics, coronary risk factors, and coronary angiography findings (number of significant stenoses, stenoses according to Bogaty standards, extent index) of patients were compared between type A (Group A; n = 71) and type B dissection (Group B; N = 74).

resultsSignificantly more patients had prior histories of complications from ischemic heart disease in Group B than in Group A (P = 0.04), with no significant differences in comparison to other risk factors observed except for hypertension. Significantly (p = 0.005) more stenoses were observed in Group B (1.54 ± 0.04) than in Group A (0.38 ± 0.1). A significantly higher (P < 0.05) index score indicating the severity of coronary atherosclerosis was observed in Group B (1.49 ± 0.09) than in Group A (0.72 ± 0.07).

conclusionsStanford type B acute aortic dissection was significantly more frequently associated with coronary artery atherosclerosis than type A.
