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

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to estimate the long-term efficacy of total aortic arch replacement combined with the frozen elephant trunk (TAR+FET) technique for aortic disease following a prior cardiac surgery procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed TAR+FET for 118 patients for major vessel disease following a prior cardiac procedure with median sternotomy incision. All patients were divided into 5 groups: in group A, the prior major procedure was aortic valve replacement (AVR); in group B, the prior major procedure was isolated ascending aorta replacement; in group C, the prior major procedure was aortic root replacement; in group D, the prior major procedure was aortic arch replacement or intervention; and in group E, the prior major procedure was 'other' cardiac operative procedure. The long-term follow-up visit results were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS The 30-day mortality rate after the operation was 13.6% (16/118) - 2 died in group A, 1 in group B, 8 in group C, 4 in group D, and 1 in group E. Follow-up visits were completed in 99% of patients. The mean follow-up time was 47.6±36.3 months and 12 patients had died by follow-up, so the total long-term survival rate was 76.3%. One-year survival rates of the 5 groups were 85% (group A), 93.8% (group B), 82.3% (group C), 50% (group D), and 50% (group E), respectively. Five-year survival rates of the 5 groups were 85%, 93.8%, 80.6%, 50%, and 50%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The TAR+FET technique is feasible and efficacious for aortic reoperation in patients who previously underwent cardiac surgery since the short-term mortality in patients with recurrent aortic arch disease after cardiac surgery is not high.
