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

purposeThe present study evaluated the efficacy of C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer and the combination of them as prognostic indicators for patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).

methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study. From January 2019 to December 2021, patients with ATAAD admitted to the emergency medicine center of our hospital within 24 h after symptoms (chest pain, back pain, abdominal pain and so on) onset were enrolled in our study. Serum concentration of CRP and D-dimer were measured during hospitalization. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between these two biomarkers and in-hospital adverse outcomes (IAO) by adjusting confounding factors. Predictive efficacy was assessed by area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve.

resultsA total of 199 patients with ATAAD were finally enrolled. They were categorized as Non-IAO group (n = 146) and IAO group (n = 53) according to postoperative outcomes. After controlling for potentially confounding variables, we found categorized variables that admission CRP > 54.28 mg/L, admission D-dimer > 8.45 mg/L and peak D-dimer > 24.89 mg/L were independent predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes. Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that the odd ratios were 2.9 for admission D-dimer > 8.45 [95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.11-7.5, p = 0.03], 4.9 for admission CRP > 54.28 (95% CI 1.6-14.9, p = 0.005) and 5.7 for peak D-dimer > 24.89 (95% CI 2.49-13, p < 0.001). The predictive accuracy of the combination of three categorized variables (AUC: 0.867, 95% CI 0.813-0.921, p < 0.001) was superior to that of any other one alone.

conclusionAdmission D-dimer > 8.45 mg/L, peak D-dimer > 24.89 mg/L and admission CRP > 54.28 mg/L are independent predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes in patients with ATAAD. Combination of these three markers will improve the predictive efficacy.
