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

Aortic dissection during pregnancy is rare but can be life-threatening to both the mother and the foetus. Marfan syndrome is a major risk factor for acute aortic dissection during pregnancy. Here, we present the case of a woman who had not been diagnosed with Marfan syndrome prior to pregnancy and who developed acute type B dissection at 32 weeks of gestation. The maternal hemodynamic status was stable, and foetal well-being was ensured. However, under conservative treatment, the dissection extended to the descending aorta, reaching the bilateral iliac artery 2 days later. Due to foetal distress, preterm delivery was performed via caesarean section. The primary treatment of type B aortic dissection is conservative medical treatment, with the goals of hemodynamic stabilisation, minimising the extent of the dissection and decreasing the risk of rupture. However, type B aortic dissection, even the uncomplicated type, in pregnant women may require early and aggressive obstetric interventions to improve maternal and foetal prognoses.
