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

backgroundThe association between socioeconomic status (SES) and outcomes after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair in publicly funded health care systems is poorly described. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of SES on postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent AAA repair in Nova Scotia, Canada.

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of all elective AAA repairs in Nova Scotia between November 2005 and March 2015 using administrative data sources. We compared postoperative 30-day outcomes and long-term survival across socio-economic quintiles, defined as the Pampalon Material Deprivation Index (MDI) and Social Deprivation Index (SDI). We also compared the relation between baseline characteristics, MDI quintile, SDI quintile and 30-day mortality. We used multivariable logistic regression and survival analysis to calculate adjusted 30-day mortality and long-term survival, respectively.

resultsA total of 1913 patients underwent AAA repair during the study period. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 2.6% (50 patients). Thirty-day outcomes including death (

conclusionSocioeconomic status does not appear to affect short- or long-term mortality after AAA repair in a publicly funded health care system. Further research is needed to address any existing gaps in screening and referral before repair.
