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

Objective: The aortic root is the most frequent segment involved in Marfan syndrome. However, Marfan syndrome is a systemic hereditary connective tissue disorder, and knowledge regarding the outcomes of the native distal aorta after prophylactic aortic root surgery is limited. Methods: From April 2010 to December 2020, 226 patients with Marfan syndrome and 1,200 patients without Marfan syndrome who underwent Bentall procedures were included in this study. By propensity score matching, 134 patients were assigned to each group. Clinical manifestations and follow-up data were acquired from hospital records and telephone contact. The cumulative incidence of aortic events was estimated in Marfan and non-Marfan patients with death as a competing risk. Results: Patients with and without Marfan syndrome had similar baseline characteristics after propensity score matching. Differences in the aortic root (62.25 ± 11.96 vs. 54.03 ± 13.76, Conclusions: New-onset events of the residual aorta in patients undergoing Bentall procedures between the Marfan and non-Marfan groups were not significantly different. Distal aortic diameter above normal at initial surgery was associated with a higher risk of adverse aortic events.
