Aortic size distribution among normal, hypertension, bicuspid, and Marfan populations.
Article in European heart journal. Imaging methods and practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Aims: Large-scale investigations on ascending aortic diameter, especially in the Asian population, are lacking. Furthermore, relevant evidence regarding the distribution of hypertension (HP), bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), and Marfan syndrome (MFS) is scarce. We aimed to examine the distribution of ascending aortic diameter in these populations in China. Methods and results: The data of a total number of 698 795 individuals who underwent cardiac ultrasound were subjected to retrospective analysis. After screening, 647 087 individuals were included in the final analysis. In the normal population, the mean ascending aortic diameter was 28.1 ± 3.2 mm (27.2 ± 3.1 mm in women vs. 29.0 ± 3.1 mm in men) ( Conclusions: (i) The ascending diameter increases with age and is larger in men than in women; (ii) 'Aortic paradox' is explained; (iii) BAV bears a high rate of aortic dilation, but a low incidence of aortic dissection.
