Optimal timing of type A intramural hematoma repair.
Review in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Acute type A aortic intramural hematomas (IMHs) are often included under the spectrum of acute aortic syndromes. The classical definition is the presence of hematoma in the media without identifiable intimal tear. Dissection occurring within two weeks of presentation is defined as acute. Acute type A IMH remains a subject of debate, especially regarding its definition and management. The classical theory of pathogenesis of IMHs is ruptured vasa vasorum in the aortic media. However, the majority of IMHs are now detected with an intimal defect using high-resolution computed tomography and intravascular ultrasound, which implies that IMHs may be a subset of aortic dissections (ADs), with very limited flow in the false lumen. Much controversy remains regarding IMH differences in presentation, diagnosis, and risk for progression. Geographic location and ethnicity, especially Asian
