Effect of endoprostheses on pulse wave velocity and its long-term outcomes after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
Article in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in pulse wave velocity and left ventricular dimensions in patients undergoing stent-graft treatment for aortic arch aneurysm.
methodsFrom July 2008 to February 2019, 86 patients underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair of an aortic arch aneurysm. Changes in pulse wave velocity (PWV), echocardiogram findings, and long-term outcomes were compared between endoskeleton type (n = 60) and exoskeleton type stent-graft (n = 26).
resultsThere was no significant difference in patient demographics except for diabetes which was more observed in endoskeleton type (p = 0.017). There was a significant increase in PWV in exoskeleton type after surgery, which further progressed at a median follow-up of 32 months (before: 2047 cm/s vs. after: 2259 cm/s vs. follow-up: 2486 cm/s, p = 0.010, p = 0.017). No significant difference was observed in endoskeleton type (before: 1980 cm/s vs. after: 2058 cm/s, vs. follow-up: 2042 cm/s, p = 0.25, p = 0.34). Echocardiogram performed at a median period of 46.3 months, revealed a significant increase in left ventricular diastolic volume (LVDV) (before: 107.4 ± 20.6 ml vs. follow-up: 127.7 ± 27.5 ml, p = 0.003) and decrease in e' (before: 5.5 ± 1.78 cm/s vs. follow-up: 4.7 ± 1.72 cm/s, p = 0.012) in exoskeleton type, while no significant change was observed in endoskeleton type (LVDV: before: 102.6 ± 32.3 ml vs. follow-up: 96.9 ± 35.4 ml, p = 0.74; e': before: 4.4 ± 1.21 cm/s vs. follow-up: 4.8 ± 1.40 cm/s, p = 0.68). At the median period of 61.3 months, there was no significant difference in long-term mortality (p = 0.89). However, the endoskeleton type was associated with a lower incidence of a cardiac event (p = 0.034) and cerebrovascular event (p = 0.029).
conclusionTypes of endoprosthesis might affect differently on physiological changes and its accommodated risk factors after surgery.
