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

Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a rare connective tissue disorder. Vessel tortuosity and aneurysms throughout the vasculature are unique to LDS. Aortic root enlargement is ubiquitous, with most patients undergoing root replacement at some point in their lifetime. Multiple vascular procedures are required to prolong life expectancy. We describe a staged hybrid approach to a 17-year-old patient with LDS presenting with ascending aorta, arch, and bilateral subclavian artery aneurysms and prominent tortuosity. Transposition of the left vertebral and subclavian arteries onto the common carotid artery was performed. Total aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk extension into the descending thoracic aorta was performed as a second stage. Bilateral subclavian artery aneurysms were excluded with the use of a four-branched graft.
