Patterns of genetic mutations explored by systematic screening of patients with aortopathy and their family members.
Article in JTCVS open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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: Genetic aortopathy, if left untreated, leads to aortic catastrophe in most affected individuals. We sought to determine the genetic mutation patterns and detection rates in patients with aortopathy and their families with a systematic screening protocol. Methods: In 2016 to 2020, patients with aortic dissection or root aneurysm (Z score ≥2) and their first-degree relatives were enrolled in a prospective registry at a tertiary referral center. The individuals underwent systematic single- or multi-gene panel testing depending on clinical presentations. Results: Among 575 enrolled individuals (mean age, 46.6 ± 14.5 years; 203 women), 346 (60.2%) underwent genetic testing. Rates of relevant gene mutations identified were 39.4% (91/231), 27.1% (54/199) and 72.4% (n = 105) in aneurysm, dissection, and family screening groups, respectively ( Conclusions: Genetic aortopathy was identified in a considerable proportion of patients with aortopathy and their family members by systematic genetic testing. This strategy is recommended for timely diagnosis and proactive management of genetic aortopathy.
