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

Spontaneous extensive aortic dissection is rarely documented in the literature with a misdiagnosis rate of up to 38% in previous studies. Vital signs and clinical manifestations vary and depend on the extent of the dissection and location. We present a rare case of extensive Stanford Type A dissection in a 60-year-old female patient who presented with confusion. Type A aortic dissection is a surgical emergency that is important for clinicians to have a low threshold of suspicion of the life-threatening condition due to the diverse and potentially atypical clinical presentation of aortic dissection.
