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

A 3.5 cm diameter descending aorta focal aneurysm was incidentally found when a computed tomography (CT) was conducted due to persistent pyrexia in an 85-year-old woman hospitalized for a non-obstructive urinary tract infection. Ten days later, whilst fever subsided and inflammation markers decreased, she became hypoxic. CT revealed an aortic intramural hematoma (Stanford type B) increasing the diameter of the thoracic aorta aneurysm to 6.5 cm. A thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) surgery was performed. Seven days after the operation she developed respiratory and hemodynamic compromise. CT depicted further enlargement of the aortic intramural hematoma, increasing the aortic diameter to 8 cm. Transthoracic echocardiography provided valuable information showing extrinsic compression of the left atrium and left ventricle inflow obstruction provoking obstructive shock.
