Predictive imaging for thoracic aortic dissection and rupture: moving beyond diameters.
Review in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Acute aortic syndromes comprise a group of potentially fatal conditions that result from weakening of the aortic vessel wall. Pre-emptive surgical intervention is currently reserved for patients with severe aortic dilatation, although abundant evidence describes the occurrence of dissection and rupture in aortas with diameters below surgical thresholds. Modern imaging techniques (such as hybrid PET-CT and 4D flow MRI) afford the non-invasive assessment of anatomic, hemodynamic, and molecular features of the aorta, and may provide for a more accurate selection of patients who will benefit from preventative surgical intervention. In the current review, we summarize evidence and considerations regarding predictive aortic imaging and highlight evolving imaging modalities that have shown promise to improve risk assessment for the occurrence of dissection and rupture. KEY POINTS: • Guidelines for the preventative management of aortic disease depend on maximal vessel diameters, while these have shown to be poor predictors for the occurrence of catastrophic acute aortic events. • Evolving imaging modalities (such as 4D flow MRI and hybrid PET-CT) afford a more comprehensive insight into anatomic, hemodynamic, and molecular features of the aorta and have shown promise to detect vessel wall instability at an early stage.
