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

Stanford type A dissections usually require surgery because they are associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, there are situations where medical management becomes the definitive treatment. We report the successful medical management of a 16-month chronic type A aortic dissection in a 56-year-old male patient with a past surgical history of ascending aortic aneurysm repair. The dissection is unique because it is distal to the graft and does not extend into the main aortic branches. A review of a patient's surgical history and nonenhanced imaging studies is essential when a type A dissection is discovered. Ascending aortic grafts may preclude the most serious complications of type A dissections.
