Frozen elephant trunk in acute type A aortic dissections: frontiers and challenges.
Article 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 2 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
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), a surgical emergency, has high mortality and morbidity. More than half of the patients die within 2 weeks and the 30-day mortality is 90%. Frozen elephant trunk in ATAAD addresses the primary and secondary goals - resection of the primary tear in the ascending aorta and promoting remodelling in the downstream aorta. Though the literature supports this fact, in reality these literatures emerge from high-volume centres. But in the "real world" most of the ATAAD are operated on in the low-volume centres. Furthermore, in India, there are unique challenges including the financial burden, transport, emergent availability of the hybrid prosthesis and aortic supercentres.
