Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta: A life-threatening emergency and the role of endovascular repair.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta is a rare condition, with a high mortality rate. Over the last 2 decades, strategies for managing aortic injury caused by blunt chest trauma have changed substantially, resulting in significantly improved outcomes. The recent development of endovascular repair offers a less invasive alternative to conventional open repair, particularly in patients with multiple injuries. Here, we report the case of a 31-year-old man who was referred to our emergency department with blunt chest trauma following a motorcycle-truck collision. Computed tomography confirmed acute traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta, and the patient was successfully treated with endovascular repair.
