Is there any association between aortic root rotation angle and aortic dissection?
Article in Indian journal of 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 5 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
introductionThoracic aortic dissection is a probable fatal condition that requires early diagnosis and management. The underlying etiology of this disorder is an important issue that has not been completely responded yet. In the current study, the association between aortic root rotation and ascending aortic dissection has been assessed.
methodsThis is a non-randomized retrospective case-control study conducted on twenty-five cases referring with ascending aortic dissection and seventy-five controls that underwent computed tomography (CT) angiography for reasons other than aortic dissection. Aortic root rotation angle and aortic diameter for both cases and controls were measured and then compared.
resultsThere was no significant difference regarding age and gender distribution (
conclusionBased on the findings of the current study, aortic root rotation angle was independently in direct association with thoracic aortic dissection. In addition, females had higher aortic root rotation angles.
