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

Various surgical techniques of the aorta result in expected imaging appearances on CT images that resemble complications such as pseudoaneurysm, perigraft abscess, and dissection. Awareness of these techniques, understanding the clinical situation in which they are performed, and familiarity with the typical appearances and locations of these mimics are essential for accurate interpretation. CT imaging techniques such as electrocardiographic gating and inclusion of a precontrast series can help distinguish an expected postsurgical finding from a complication. Information in the medical record, particularly the operative note, can clarify challenging cases with unusual imaging features. This review article provides examples of expected postsurgical findings at CT mimicking complications. © RSNA, 2019.
