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

Aortic dissection is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the aortic wall layers are separated. It is important to recognize that aortic dissections can have an atypical presentation with neurological deficits and not typical findings of chest pain or thoracic symptoms. Our patient presented with headache, vertigo, and transient neurologic deficits. However, imaging revealed no acute stroke. Our patient had a prior history of DeBakey type 1 aortic dissection repaired four years before. Imaging did not demonstrate an acute aortic dissection however there was an increase in size of the aneurysmal components. However, it is unclear if this contributed to the transient neurological deficits. Further research is needed to determine if there is a correlation between aortic aneurysmal enlargement and transient neurological deficits.
