Computed Tomography Imaging of Thoracic Aortic Surgery: Distinguishing Life-Saving Repairs from Life-Threatening Complications.
Review in Journal of imaging, 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
Thoracic aortic pathology encompasses a spectrum of life-threatening conditions that demand prompt diagnosis and intervention. Significant advancements in surgical management, including open repair, endovascular aortic repair, and hybrid techniques, have markedly enhanced patient outcomes. However, these procedures necessitate meticulous imaging follow-up to identify potential complications. Computed tomography angiography remains the gold standard for evaluating aortic pathology, guiding surgical planning, and monitoring postoperative changes. A thorough understanding of the characteristic imaging features associated with various aortic surgical techniques is crucial for precise assessment, enhancing postoperative surveillance, and optimizing patient management. Distinguishing between surgical complications and postoperative findings is vital to prevent misdiagnosis. This review examines the imaging characteristics of thoracic aortic diseases and their corresponding surgical interventions, emphasizing the differentiation between expected postoperative findings and true pathological conditions. This approach aims to facilitate accurate diagnosis and effective management of complications, ultimately improving patient care.
