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

There is a paucity of data describing the safety and efficacy of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) repair surgeries in dialysis patients. Our study aimed to investigated the influence of dialysis on early and late outcomes in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients who received repair surgery for ATAAD. A total of 882 ATAAD patients who received emergency aortic dissection repair at our center from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively screened in this study and divided into the dialysis group (n = 16) and the non-dialysis group (n = 866), depending on whether they required dialysis for preoperative ESRD. No significant difference of age, preoperative hemodynamics, organ ischemia conditions, operative variables as well as the 30-Day mortality and in-hospital complications was discovered between two groups. However, the survival rates and the proportion of late aortic event (sudden death and reoperation) free population at 1 and 3 years after surgery were significantly decreased in dialysis patients compared to non-dialysis patients. Our study indicated that the short-term surgical outcomes of ATAAD in dialysis patients were comparable to non-dialysis patient. However, the dialysis patients were associated with a worse long-term prognosis.
