Size and dissection: what is the relation?
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Thoracic aortic aneurysm is a complex disease. The consequences of such silent and indolent disease include acute aortic syndrome if not recognized early and treated appropriately. Aortic aneurysm size was a reliable clinical marker to aid clinical intervention; however, aneurysm growth is variable and is influenced by many factors such as age, presence of connective tissue disorders, genetic disorders, hypertension, inflammatory conditions of the aorta, autoimmune diseases, smoking, and history of previous cardiac surgery. Therefore, aortic size became a non-specific disease surrogate and prediction tool on outcome and intervention. In this review article, we examined the current literature for evidence about aneurysm size and its relation to type A aortic dissection.
