Ascending aorta mechanics and dimensions in aortopathy - from science to application.
Review in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
The ascending aorta has a unique microstructure and biomechanical properties that allow it to absorb energy during systole and return energy during diastole (Windkessel effect). Derangements in aortic architecture can result in changes to biomechanics and inefficiencies in function. Ultimately biomechanical failure may occur resulting in aortic dissection or rupture. By measuring aortic biomechanics with either in vivo or ex vivo methods, one may be able to predict tissue failure in patients with aortic disease such as aneurysms. An understanding of the biomechanical changes that lead to these tissue-level failures may help guide therapy, disease surveillance, surgical intervention, and aid in the development of new treatments for this deadly condition.
