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

Most syphilitic aneurysms involve the ascending aorta. Those involving the descending aorta are less common, and those involving the abdominal aorta are unusual. Rarer yet, we present the case of a 40-year-old man with HIV and a history of syphilis with a thoracoabdominal aneurysm. The patient underwent antiretroviral therapy before elective open repair. His postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged home. Pathology demonstrated medial necrosis. Postoperatively, he was seen well in our multidisciplinary aorta center clinic. Today's vascular surgeons should be cognizant of cardiovascular syphilis. Successful care requires awareness of atypical presentations in addition to multispecialty care.
