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

Background: Aortic dilation, cardiac malformations and hypertension are known risk factors for aortic dissection in Turner syndrome (TS). In the current guidelines, rapid growth of the aorta has been added as a risk marker. This study aimed to estimate the growth of the ascending aorta over time, to identify risk factors of aortic growth, and to describe aortic complications in TS. Methods: A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed at least twice in 101 women with TS, mean age 28 years, with a mean follow-up of 8.3 ± 3.4 (range 1-17) years. The investigator was blinded to the clinical status. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors of aortic growth. Results: The prevalence of ascending aortic dilation (ASI >20 mm/m Conclusions: The growth rate of the ascending aorta in TS was increased compared to the general female population. Congenital cardiovascular malformations were not predictive of aortic growth.
