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

backgroundMid-aortic syndrome (MAS) may induce changes in cardiac structure among patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA).

methodsConsecutive adult patients with TA (January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2018) were enrolled and their data was retrospectively analyzed.

resultsPatients were divided into MAS group (100/457 patients, 21.8%) and non-MAS group (357, 78.1%). The left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was higher in the MAS group than the non-MAS (113.78±26.82 versus 100.74±23.66 g/m

conclusionsTA-induced MAS is a potential independent risk factor for increased LVMI, and revascularization therapy for MAS is effective in reversing structural changes in the heart.
