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

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) is an alternative treatment option for high-risk patients. While conventionally performed via a transfemoral approach, it is sometimes difficult due to poor access routes. We report the case of a 90-year-old man who was incidentally diagnosed with a descending TAA while undergoing computed tomography for esophageal cancer. The patient had undergone Y-graft replacement twice. His Y-graft leg was highly angulated; therefore, a transfemoral approach was considered difficult. Consequently, transapical TEVAR was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Transapical TEVAR can be a useful treatment option for TAAs with poor access routes in super-old patients.
