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

(1) Background: There is a need for a novel surrogate marker to ease decision making when facing ascending aortic dilatation. In this article, we study the ratio between ascending and descending aorta diameters as a potential one. (2) Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study, including all the patients who underwent surgery for acute type A aorta dissection (aTAAD) between January 2014 and September 2020 at our center. A total of 50 patients were included. Clinical and demographic data were collected. The anatomical measurements were made including orthogonal maximal diameters of the ascending and descending aorta, post-dissection whole circumference length (post-wCL), post-dissection true lumen circumference length (post-tCL), and surface and sphericity indices of the ascending and descending aorta. Pre-dissection ascending aorta diameter (pre-AAD) and pre-dissection descending aorta diameter (pre-DAD) were calculated as well as the ratio between them and compared with reference values. (3) Results: Of the pre-AAD patients, 96% had smaller than the recommended 55 mm. The ratio between the descending and ascending aorta pre-dissection diameters was significantly smaller compared to the reference value (0.657 ± 0.125 versus 0.745 ± 0.016 with a mean difference of -0.088 and a
