Collateral network concept in 2023.
Review in Annals of cardiothoracic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair can cause spinal cord ischemia which significantly impacts survival and quality of life. Although this complication is uncommon, it is important to recognize the pathophysiology and preventative measures. In the 1990s, Dr. Griepp and colleagues proposed the existence of an extensive collateral network that supports spinal cord perfusion, "the collateral network concept". This includes an interconnecting complex of vessels in the intraspinal, paraspinous, and epidural spaces, and in the paravertebral muscles, involving the intercostal and lumbar segmental arteries as well as the subclavian and hypogastric (iliac) arteries. In this concept, as opposed to the one major segmental input model such as the Adamkiewicz artery, recognition of the importance of multiple inputs to the spinal circulation is paramount to maintaining the spinal blood flow and preventing spinal cord ischemia. In this article, we review the current evidence of the collateral concept and its application in aortic surgery.
