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 occurs when a weakened portion of the intima tears, and a separation of layers propagates along the aortic wall to form a false lumen filled with active blood flow or intramural thrombus. The unpredictable nature of aortic dissection formation and need for immediate intervention leaves limited serial human image data to study the formation and morphological changes that follow dissection. We used volumetric ultrasound examination, histology, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to examine intramural thrombi at well-defined timepoints after dissection occurs in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice infused with angiotensin II (n = 71). Stratification of red blood cell (RBC) morphologies (biconcave, intermediate biconcave, intermediate polyhedrocyte, and polyhedrocyte) in the thrombi with scanning electron microscopy (n = 5) was used to determine degree of thrombus deposition/contraction. Very few biconcave RBCs (1.2 ± 0.6%) were in the thrombi, and greater amounts of intermediate biconcave RBCs (25.8 ± 6.7%) were located in the descending thoracic portion of the dissection while more polyhedrocytes (14.6 ± 5.1%) and fibrin (42.3 ± 4.5%;
