Cardiothoracic surgery and peripheral endovascular intervention in cardiovascular damage from a cohort of orphan rheumatological diseases-epidemiological and survival analysis.

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
Background: Aortic diseases in some orphan rheumatological diseases require medical, surgical or peripheral endovascular intervention because they can be catastrophic. Objectives: to analyze the main clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA), Marfan syndrome (MS) and similar conditions that were treated with cardiothoracic surgery and peripheral endovascular intervention. Methods: Retrospective and descriptive cohort study that included patients of any age and gender with TA (as per the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology and EULAR/PRINTO), MS (according to Ghent criteria), and similar conditions who underwent cardiothoracic surgery or peripheral endovascular intervention. Data were collected from electronic charts. Results: A total of 77 patients with TA and 135 patients with MS and similar conditions were included. The frequency of surgical or interventional requirements in patients with TA and MS/similar conditions was 77/364 (21.2%) and 135/300 (45%), respectively; such patients were followed for a median of 6 [2-12] and 3.29 (0.42-6.62) years, with (maximum follow-up range of 47 and 21.37 years, respectively). Aneurysms were present in 11 (14.3%) and 66 (48.9%) in patients with TA and MS/similar conditions, respectively. Aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve damage occurred in 8 (10.4%) patients, 4 (5.2%) patients and 1 (1.3%) patient with TA, respectively; corresponding frequencies in patients with MS/similar conditions were 98 (72.6%), 50 (37.0%) and 20 (14.8%). We identified that 20% of patients with TA died after 5.08 years (95% CI: 0.23-25.42 years) and 20 % of the patients with MS and other similar conditions died after 7.52 years (95% CI: 1.10-9.02 years). Conclusions: The frequency of surgical intervention was low in this study. Long-term prognosis is good if surgery is performed in a timely manner. Epidemiological studies provide relevant information for public health decisions related to the management of orphan rheumatological diseases.
