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

Anastomotic graft leaks following thoracic aortic repair are rare but potentially life-threatening complications that may present with subtle symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis. We present the case of a 74-year-old male who developed progressive dyspnea eight months after undergoing a Bentall procedure for an ascending aortic aneurysm. Imaging revealed a massive 13.2 × 11.2 × 11.5 cm contained peri-aortic hematoma, causing significant mass effect on nearby structures, which was successfully surgically repaired. This case represents the largest reported peri-aortic hematoma following Bentall surgery and highlights the challenges in detecting and managing late complications of open thoracic aortic repair, given the lack of standardized surveillance protocols for anastomotic open graft leaks.
