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

Background: There is a paucity of data on the prognostic value of cardiac biomarkers in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), especially lacking follow-up data. We aimed to explore the association between cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and short- and mid-term survival in surgery for ATAAD. Methods: A total of 535 patients undergoing surgery for ATAAD were retrospectively enrolled. Cardiac biomarkers were measured before surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to explore the cut-off value of NT-proBNP for predicting 30-day mortality. Logistic regression analysis evaluated the association between cTnI and NT-proBNP and short-term mortality. Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to explore the association between cTnI and the NT-proBNP and mid-term survival. Results: cTnI {0.022 [interquartile range (IQR), 0.005-0.093] Conclusions: NT-proBNP showed important prognostic value in not only short-term but also mid-term survival in patients undergoing surgery for ATAAD. cTnI was also associated with short-term mortality. Both NT-proBNP and cTnI could serve as early biomarkers for the risk stratification of patients with ATAAD.
