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

Open replacement of multifocal aortic aneurysms is an operative and clinical challenge. Thoughtful consideration of both surgical technique and timing is important to reduce risk of major cardiovascular and neurologic complications. We discuss the management of a 34-year-old male with suspected connective tissue disease admitted with multifocal, giant aneurysms of his right subclavian artery, ascending and aortic arch, descending and abdominal aorta, and right iliac artery. A complex, open three-stage repair was undertaken. Genetic testing revealed a missense MYH11 mutation. We describe our approach and patient outcome.
