Painless type A aortic dissection.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Aortic dissection is an uncommon diagnosis that typically presents with acute onset of severe pain. It rarely presents with minimal to no symptoms, which carries a higher mortality risk given the delay in diagnosis. An adequate interpretation of risk factors, clinical findings and auxiliary tests constitutes a greater value for clinicians to detect this life-threatening condition. This report describes a case of type A aortic dissection in an asymptomatic patient presenting with an abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG).
