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

Reentry to the mediastinum when the ascending aorta aneurysm is adherent to the sternum is characterized by high risk of aneurysm rupture during sternum opening. In such cases, often cardiopulmonary bypass via peripheral vessels is instituted, and reentry done in deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. To reduce both risks of aneurysm rupture during resternotomy and those related to prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, we present a surgical approach consisting of a two-stage sternotomy to avoid the risky zone and extra-anatomic epiaortic vessels anastomoses.
