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

Deep hypothermia helps protect the spinal cord, but is invasive. Here, we present a method to avoid reperfusion injury by selectively circulating cold blood under high pressure to the intercostal artery during reperfusion after intercostal artery reconstruction. Of the 23 patients who underwent thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm open repair, one died. The motor evoked potential disappeared during aortic clamping in nine patients. Six patients recovered completely from aortic clamping release, two showed recovery >50% and one achieved full recovery 3 months later. Permanent motor impairment did not occur. This method could prevent reperfusion injury and paraplegia following thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.
