Anatomical variations of aortic arch vessels in Japanese patients with aortic arch disease.
Article 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 9 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
objectivesThe present study analyzed the prevalence of variations of the aortic arch branching in Japanese population, comparing patients with aortic arch disease with healthy controls.
methodsBetween from October 1999 and December 2015, 815 Japanese patients with aortic arch disease defined as aortic arch aneurysm (diameter ≥ 45 mm) and aortic dissection (group A) underwent aortic arch surgery in our institution. As a control group, 1506 traumatic screened patients were enrolled (group C).
resultsAortic arch anomaly was diagnosed in 140 patients (17.2%) in the group A and in 222 patients (14.7%) in the group C (p = 0.125). Significant differences were found in the incidence of aberrant subclavian artery (A: 14 patients, 1.7%, vs. C: 8 patients, 0.5%, p = 0.006). Significantly more patients with aortic arch aneurysm in the group A had anomalies of the aortic arch compared with the group C (p = 0.009), including bovine aortic arch (p = 0.049) and aberrant subclavian artery (p < 0.001). In term of aneurysm location, bovine arch was detected in more patients with proximal arch aneurysm (15.7%, p = 0.043), whereas aberrant subclavian artery was in more patients with distal location (3.7%, p < 0.001). No difference was found in aortic arch anomaly in patients with acute or chronic dissection.
conclusionAberrant subclavian artery was a significant maker of aortic arch disease in Japanese populations. Bovine arch was a risk maker of proximal arch aneurysm, and aberrant subclavian artery was a risk factor of distal arch aneurysm.
