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

backgroundA patent false lumen (FL) in patients with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR)-treated type B aortic dissection (TBAD) can cause a significant risk for late aortic expansion (LAE). We hypothesize that preoperative features can predict the occurrence of LAE.

methodsSufficient preoperative and postoperative follow-up clinical and imaging feature data for patients treated with TEVAR in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were collected. A univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to find potential risk factors of LAE.

resultsNinety-six patients were finally included in this study. The mean age was 54.5 ± 11.7 years and 85 (88.5%) were male. LAE occurred in 15 (15.6%) of 96 patients after TEVAR. Two preoperative factors showed strong associations with LAE according to the multivariable logistic regression analysis: preoperative partial thrombosis of the FL (OR = 10.989 [2.295-48.403];

conclusionsPreoperative partial thrombosis of the FL and an increase in the maximum aortic diameter are strongly associated with late aortic expansion. Additional interventions of the FL may help to improve the prognosis of patients with the high risk of late aortic expansion.
