Giant ascending aortic aneurysm: A rare case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A giant ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA), defined as an aneurysm larger than 10 cm, is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that often remains asymptomatic until it reaches a critical size. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause in elderly patients, and imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and management. In this case, a 72-year-old man presented with intermittent sharp chest pain radiating to the back, progressive hoarseness over 5 years, and shortness of breath. Imaging revealed a 12.51 cm × 11.27 cm × 10.0 cm saccular aneurysm with calcified plaques, consistent with a Stanford Type A aortic aneurysm and underlying atherosclerosis. Surgical intervention remains the only definitive treatment, although it carries significant risks. Early diagnosis, timely surgical intervention, and postoperative surveillance are critical in improving patient outcomes for this high-risk condition.
