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

backgroundTo determine the prevalence, clinical and imaging features of intimal tear detected by ECG-gated multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and confirmed by surgery in patients with acute type A intramural hematoma (ATAIMH) and acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD).

methodsThis retrospective study involved analysis of the intimal tear characteristics in 72 consecutive patients with ATAIMH and 209 with AAAD who were diagnosed by MDCT. The size and location of the intimal tear were measured and compared between these two groups of patients. The findings were also compared with those from 28 patients with ATAIMH who underwent surgical treatment to determine the intimal tear features as observed on CT angiography (CTA).

resultsPatients in the ATAIMH group were significantly older than those in the AAAD group (58.6±11.3

conclusionsPatients with ATAIMH have a high prevalence of intimal tear, which is significantly smaller than that measured in patients with classic AAAD. Just like AD, ATAIMH may also be triggered by intimal tear. Hence, timely surgical repair is needed.
