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

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the incidence of organ cysts in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD) to assess the association between organ cysts and TAAD.

methodsBetween January 2018 and December 2018, all patients with TAAD undergoing aortic surgery at our center were enrolled into the study; patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting at our center were selected as the control group. Baseline differences between the 2 groups were adjusted using propensity-score matching. The incidence of organ cysts was compared between the 2 groups in total and matched cohorts.

resultsWe enrolled 290 patients with TAAD and 293 patients with coronary artery disease (control group). The incidence of all organ cysts, liver cysts, renal cysts, and other organ cysts, was significantly higher in the TAAD group than in the control group (50.0% vs. 35.5%, p<0.001; 24.5% vs. 10.2%, p<0.001; 33.4% vs. 24.9%, p=0.023; and 6.2% vs. 1.5%, p=0.005; respectively). Among the 191 propensity score-matched patient pairs, the incidence of organ cysts, liver cysts, renal cysts, and other organ cysts was also significantly higher in the TAAD group than in the control group (57.6% vs. 30.9%, p<0.001; 28.8% vs. 11.0%, p<0.001; 39.3% vs. 19.9%, p<0.001; and 8.4% vs. 1.0%, p=0.001; respectively). The incidence of cysts with single-organ and multiple-organ involvement was also significantly higher in the TAAD group than in the control group (34.0% vs. 20.4%, p=0.003; and 23.6% vs. 10.5%, p=0.001).

conclusionOur results show a higher incidence of organ cysts in patients with TAAD which is indicative of a common pathogenetic pathway between organ cysts and aortic dissection.
