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

Objective: To compare intermittent horizontal mattress suture (IHMS) technique and conventional sandwich technique for proximal anastomosis in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) surgery. Methods: Patients who underwent ATAAD repair in our hospital between December 2020 and February 2023 were selected for inclusion in the study. The number of patients treated with the IHMS technique for aortic root repair were matched with those who received the conventional sandwich technique by the same surgeon. Perioperative and postoperative outcomes were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: This study compared 44 patients in each group. The IHMS group had a shorter operation time than the sandwich group (6.07 h Conclusion: The IHMS technique for the aortic root anastomosis is simple, feasible and effective, particularly in ATAAD surgery with intimal rupture near the sinus-tubular junction to preserve the aortic valve during anastomosis of the ascending aorta.
