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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the safety of direct innominate arterial (IA) cannulation using a pediatric arterial cannula to establish selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) during total arch replacement (TAR) for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).

methodsThis retrospective study included patients with ATAAD who underwent TAR with the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique between October 2020 and November 2021. Patients treated with direct IA cannulation using a pediatric arterial cannula for selective anterograde cerebral perfusion were included in the study.

resultsOf the 29 patients, 24 (82.8%) were male. The average age was 50.9 ± 9.47 years. Proximal repair included aortic root plasty (27 patients, [93.1%]) and Bentall surgery (2 patients, [6.9%]). Perioperative mortality and stroke rates were 3.4% and 6.9%, respectively. The mean lowest core temperature was 23.8 ± 0.74 °C and the mean ACP time was 25 ± 6.4 min. The aortic cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times were 141 ± 28 and 202 ± 29 min, respectively. There were no cases of IA injuries.

conclusionDirect IA cannulation using a pediatric arterial cannula is a simple, safe, and effective technique for establishing ACP during TAR with the FET technique for ATAAD and can avoid the potential complications of axillary artery cannulation.
