Left axillary cannulation for acute type A aortic dissection.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 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
The most commonly used arterial cannulation sites for type A aortic dissection are right axillary artery, femoral artery and both. Direct central aortic cannulation has also been reported. In rare cases, it is extremely difficult to choose an arterial cannulation site for type A aortic dissection due to involvement of the right axillary and both femoral arteries. Herein, we present a 39-year-old male with acute type A aortic dissection with involvement of the right axillary and both femoral arteries. Left axillary cannulation was made and selective cerebral perfusion was performed through direct left common carotid artery cannulation during circulatory arrest. Surgery was performed to replace the ascending aorta and total arch combined with a frozen elephant trunk implantation. The patient recovered uneventfully. To our knowledge, this is a rare case of total aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk implantation through left axillary arterial cannulation for type A aortic dissection in the literature. Left axillary cannulation is a safe and useful choice for type A aortic dissection surgery when right axillary and femoral cannulation are not safe and reliable.
