CT angiography of acute aortic syndrome in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Review in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The term acute aortic syndrome (AAS) refers to a range of different entities, including dissection, intramural haematoma and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. Patients with chronic renal disease and particularly those with dominant polycystic kidney disease are susceptible to this pathology, given the underlying renal arteriopathy and hypertension. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing, grading and guiding management of these patients, with computed tomography angiography (CTA) being on the frontline. Albeit of overlapping of imaging findings between these conditions, specific imaging characteristics help discriminate and guide treatment. Given the nephrotoxic contrast agent involved, tailored CTA protocols or alternative imaging modalities such as MRI or US are necessary in this patient population. This review article discusses the main imaging findings of entities found in the spectrum of AAS, as well as the appropriate use and protocol of imaging modalities, focusing on the appropriate use of nephrotoxic contrast agents, the preservation of renal function and maintenance of optimal diagnostic accuracy.
