Comparison of efficiency and safety of open surgery, hybrid surgery and endovascular repair for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aneurysms: a systemic review and network meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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: The objective of this study was to perform a network meta-analysis (NMA) to assess the efficacy and safety of three different surgical interventions- open surgical repair (OSR), hybrid surgical repair (HSR), and endovascular repair (EVAR)- for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). Methods: Electronic repositories like PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane library, Clinical trial, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were systematically searched to identify studies that compared the efficacy of OSR, HSR, and EVAR with endografts for the treatment of TAAAs until December 24th, 2022. Random-effects and fixed-effects models were employed to analyze the data gathered in a network meta-analysis. The study's primary outcomes of interest encompassed in-hospital mortality, long-term survival rate, and postoperative complications. Results: Eleven comparative studies meet inclusion criterias. There were 2,222 patients in OSR, 1,574 patients in EVAR and 537 patients in HSR. EVAR has lower one-month mortality than OSR (RR: 0.31; 95% CI: 0.17-0.70) and HSR (RR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.22-0.71), and lower incident rate of renal complications than HSR (RR: 0.20; 95% CI: 0.08-0.43) and OSR (RR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.16-0.65). Nonetheless, there was no noteworthy discrepancy identified in the long-term survival rates of these procedures. Conclusions: As compared with OSR, HSR, and EVAR, EVER has lower one-month mortality, and lower incident rates of complications. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO (CRD42022313829).
