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

Despite the recent technical developments, surgery on the thoracic aorta remains challenging and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Decisions about when and if to operate are based on a balance between surgical risk and the hazard of aortic rupture. These decisions are sometimes difficult in elective cases of thoracic aortic diseases, including aneurysms and dissections. Abnormal wall stress derived from flow alterations influences disease progression. Therefore, a better understanding of the complex hemodynamic environment inside the aortic lumen will facilitate patient-specific risk assessments of complications, which enable clinicians to provide timely prophylactic interventions. Time-resolved 3D phase-contrast (4D flow) MRI has many advantages for the in vivo assessment of flow dynamics. Recent developments in 4D flow imaging techniques has led to significant advances in our understanding of physiological flow dynamics in healthy subjects and patients with thoracic aortic diseases. In this clinically focused review of thoracic aortic diseases, we demonstrate the clinical advances acquired with 4D flow MRI from published studies. We provide a systematic overview of key evidences and considerations regarding normal thoracic aortas, thoracic aortic aneurysms, aortic dissections, and thoracic aortas with prosthetic graft replacement.
