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

Acute type A aortic dissection is a relatively uncommon but devastating disease and usually requires emergency surgery. Based on the several database projects, a large amount of perioperative patient data has now been accumulated and is expected to be useful in clinical practice. Especially in Japan, the number of surgeries for acute type A aortic dissection has been gradually increasing recently, and the overall mortality rate has stabilized at less than 10%. One of the keys to further improvement in outcomes will be to improve the results of aortic root replacement. In addition, strategies need to be established for very elderly patients, comatose patients, and patients with malperfusion as preoperative conditions. The use of a relatively new device, the frozen elephant trunk, is also increasing and might be changing the surgical outcome. In this report, we describe the current status of acute type A aortic dissection in Japan, with reference to recent guidelines and literature.
