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

Sacrifice of the segmental arteries during thoracoabdominal aortic repair carries the risk of spinal cord injury. Staged embolization of segmental arteries has been discussed as an option for preconditioning the spinal cord vascular network. In the present case, periprocedural monitoring of motor-evoked potentials detected spinal cord ischemia after aortic cross-clamping, although embolization of eight segmental arteries had been performed in advance. Implantation of an intercostal artery bypass restored spinal cord perfusion and normalized the motor-evoked potentials. Thus, the preconditioning strategy to stimulate creation of a spinal cord collateral network as an adjunctive method to prevent paraplegia is not perfect.
