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

Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a serious medical emergency that requires early diagnosis and rapid treatment. Whether cardiac troponin could be an independent prognostic marker in patients with type A AAD is still unknown. We systematically searched Medline and Scopus to identify all observational cohort studies published before January 2020 that compared outcome (in-hospital mortality) in patients with type A AAD with and without troponin elevation on admission. Four studies with 412 patients were included in final analysis (median age 59 years, 65% of males). A total of 124 (30%) patients died during in-hospital stay, and 73% underwent surgery. Elevated troponins (39.6% of patients) were associated with an increased risk of short-term mortality (adjusted odds ratio 1.26; 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.47), with low heterogeneity among studies (
