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 and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are genetic aortopathies that result from abnormal collagen matrix formation associated with vascular complications and early death. Identification of simultaneous COL3A1 and SMAD3 mutations as well as subsequent open and endovascular repair have not been reported. We present a case of a staged complete aortic replacement in a patient with a 7-cm aneurysm of his aortic arch and confirmed genetic mutations for Loeys-Dietz syndrome and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This case highlights that, despite increased operative risk, successful staged repair of the entire aorta can be achieved in a patient with multiple severe genetic aortopathies.
