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

Congenital heart disease (CHD)-associated aortopathy is a very heterogeneous entity with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. The pathogenesis of aortopathy is still incompletely understood, and, therefore, the best prevention and management strategy is currently unknown. The most common entity of CHD-associated aortopathies is bicuspid aortic valve (BAV)-associated aortic disease (so called bicuspid aortopathy) that is found in 50%-60% of BAV individuals. BAV aortopathy has been reported in association with an increased risk of aortic events, especially aortic dissection and sudden cardiac death. Risk stratification of adverse aortic events is still very rudimentary and considers only the maximal aortic diameter, which makes it unsuitable for an individual risk prediction. This introductory Editorial highlights the unmet clinical need for more integrative and translational research to unravel pathogenetic pathways in the development of CHD-associated aortopathies, integrating recently identified genetic lesions and knowledge on circulating biomarkers and microstructural changes in the diseased aorta.
