A Rare Initial Presentation of Aortic Intramural Hematoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 intramural hematoma (AIH) is a life-threatening emergency that involves aortic wall integrity and is characterized by either a direct rupture of the vasa vasorum or spontaneous bleeding of an arterial plaque located in the tunica media of the aortic wall. A notable difference between AIH and acute aortic dissection is the absence of an intimal flap, a finding discernable on computed tomography angiography (CTA). Follow-up imaging allows for the monitoring of disease progression or early findings of impending complications. While some patients may require surgical intervention, medical management with blood pressure control remains the mainstay in treatment. Our case describes a patient who was found to be in cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular fibrillation and was then found to have presumed Stanford Type A aortic dissection on CTA. After reviewing the scans, the diagnosis was reclassified to AIH due to the absence of an intimal flap, the patient was then managed medically for AIH with antihypertensive medications.
