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

backgroundHepatic dysfunction (HD) is a common complication that can occur after surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and is associated with poor prognosis. However, the incidence of early preoperative HD and the associated risk factors in patients with ATAAD have not been fully elucidated.

methodsA total of 984 ATAAD patients who received surgical repair within 48 hours of symptom onset at our department from January 2014 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the non-HD group and the HD groups according to the Model of End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score before surgery. The clinical parameters and clinical outcomes of the 2 groups were collected and compared.

resultsPreoperative HD was detected in 268 patients (27.2%). The incidence of in-hospital complications, including the need for dialysis (34.0%

conclusionsEarly HD before surgery was commonly observed in patients with ATAAD and was associated with increased in-hospital complications after surgery, but did not significantly affect long-term survival.
