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

Patients with cardiomyopathy and aortic dissection presents significant challenges. Some patients are too ill to go directly to transplantation and require a bridge strategy to address the cardiomyopathy and dissection. This case combines a total artificial heart with a frozen elephant trunk procedure to increase the likelihood of survival. The patient underwent transposition of the left subclavian artery to the left carotid artery prior to frozen elephant trunk combined with implantation of a total artificial heart, bridge to transplantation. The patient remained inpatient, and underwent heart transplantation, with discharge from the hospital. Bridge to transplantation in patients with dissection is feasible in selected patients.
