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

Descending thoracic aortic thrombus is a rare condition, often identified during the evaluation for an embolic source. The standard treatment is thoracic aortic replacement; however, its high invasiveness limits patient eligibility. Here, we present the case of a 78-year-old male who presented with acute limb ischemia. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography imaging revealed a floating thrombus in the descending aorta. In addition to thrombectomy for limb salvage, treatment targeting the embolic source was necessary. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair was successfully deployed to address the thrombus source. The patient has remained free of recurrent embolic events and has shown stable progress post-procedure.
