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

Aortic dissection is a critical medical condition that poses a significant threat to life, and if left untreated, it can lead to high mortality and morbidity rates. The risk of various cardiovascular complications, including aortic dissection, is increased in individuals with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the significance of aortic dissection as a complication in COVID-19 patients is often underestimated. Traditionally, aortic dissection without pain was considered uncommon. However, recent information indicates that symptoms in patients with aortic dissection can be more diverse than previously believed. The classic symptoms of tearing chest, back, or abdominal pain may be absent, making diagnosis challenging. We present the incidental detection of an asymptomatic Stanford type-B aortic dissection during a computed tomography (CT) scan conducted to evaluate COVID-19. The patient was managed through conservative treatment.
