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

Aortic dissection is an infrequent diagnosis that usually presents with acute onset of sharp and severe tearing pain. It rarely presents with atypical symptoms, accompanied by a higher mortality risk that arises the delay in diagnosis. In this report, we discuss a type A aortic dissection case with a presentation of heaviness-like chest pain with no evidence of aortic dissection in his first echocardiography. The patient was treated for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but on the follow-up, echocardiography aortic dissection was diagnosed accidentally. Differentiation between ACS and aortic dissection is critical in patient management. Each one has an entirely different treatment approach, and misdiagnosis can lead to catastrophic outcomes.
