Incidence and Mortality Rates of Thoracic Aortic Dissection in Korea - Inferred from the Nationwide Health Insurance Claims.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundAortic dissection (AD) is one of the most catastrophic diseases and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to investigate the hospital incidence and mortality rates of thoracic AD in Korea using a nationwide database.
methodsWe conducted a nationwide population-based study using the health claims data of the National Health Insurance Service in Korea. From 2005 to 2016, adult patients newly diagnosed with AD were included. All patients were divided into the following four subgroups by treatment: type A surgical repair (TASR), type B surgical repair (TBSR), thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), and medical management (MM). The incidence rate, mortality rate, and risk factors of in-hospital mortality were evaluated.
resultsIn total, 18,565 patients were newly diagnosed with AD (TASR, n = 4,319 [23.3%]; TBSR, n = 186 [1.0%]; TEVAR, n = 697 [3.8%]; MM, n = 13,363 [72.0%]). The overall AD incidence rate was 3.76 per 100,000 person-years and exhibited a gradual increase during the study period (3.29 to 4.82,
conclusionThe incidence of thoracic AD has gradually increased in Korea. The in-hospital mortality in the TASR subgroup decreased over the decade, although the overall mortality of AD patients did not change.
