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

The incidence of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) is approximately 10.4 cases per 100,000 person-years. Although most cases of TAA are caused by degenerative disease, associated aortic valve abnormalities have been heavily linked to this condition. These include unicuspid, bicuspid and quadricuspid aortic valves. These non-tricuspid aortic valves occur sporadically but can occur in familial clusters with variable penetrance. The presence of non-tricuspid aortic valves has significant implications for patients, as they become prone to valvular dysfunction and aortic dissection. Therefore, understanding of the pathophysiology and natural history of this condition is imperative for early diagnosis, regular surveillance and timely intervention. In this review article, we discuss the normal anatomy of the aortic valve, non-tricuspid aortic valves and their association with TAAs. We also highlight the role of various cardiac imaging modalities in the management of affected patients.
