Painless long-segmental aortic dissection diagnosed by echocardiography: a case report of a diagnostic conundrum with potentially poor outcome.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition with a higher mortality rate. Early diagnosis enhances the prognosis of this disease; however, while chest pain is the most common symptom, we can occasionally find asymptomatic patients, making diagnosis more difficult and even missed, it is an uncommon entity with few data in the literature based exclusively on reported cases. Here, we report a case of completely asymptomatic long segmental aortic dissection in a 66-year-old male, with a recent history of controlled hypertension. The diagnosis was made by noninvasive methods, and the patient was referred for surgical treatment. Aortic dissections that are painless provide a significant challenge to physicians in terms of improving prognosis for this frequently misdiagnosed yet lethal illness. The main goal of this report is to bring attention to the misdiagnosed signs and symptoms of aortic dissection.
