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

Revascularization of the left subclavian artery (LSA) is considered a method of spinal cord protection from ischemia during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Coverage of the artery of Adamkiewicz with TEVAR is usually well tolerated because of collateral pathways to this vessel, but on the other side, the LSA is crucial in this regard since it represents the primary source of collateral pathways. In our commentary, we wish to focus the discussion on the LSA revascularization and about the complexity of the anatomy of spinal cord supply in order to underline what have been already studied, analyzed, and recommended from the current guidelines.
