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

Few patients with interrupted aortas survive into maturity, and the majority of instances are diagnosed in young children. There are only a few cases of this extremely rare total aortic interruption that survives into maturity, necessitating the substantial growth of collaterals to supply the descending aorta. Here, we describe a rare instance of an interrupted aorta in a 43-year male that presented in late adulthood with complete interruption of the aortic arch. The patient has remained symptom-free and without treatment. This case gives us an idea about how one can survive into adulthood with complete interruption of the aortic arch given that extensive collaterals are formed.
