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

Aortic arch replacement operations have undergone substantial evolution with technical advancements, notably the introduction of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique. The purpose of this state-of-the-art review is to detail our approach to contemporary aortic arch replacement with FET operations. First, we review the evolution of FET procedures over the years and discuss technical modifications, including cerebral perfusion options, to the aortic arch replacement with FET. We also discuss state-of-the-art technical considerations of head vessel reconstruction and management of the difficult left subclavian artery. We also discuss selected considerations related to the endovascular stent graft component, including landing zone management and when to consider extended distal aortic interventions. We briefly discuss potential complications of which the vigilant clinician should be aware, as well as highlight subtleties in managing aortic dissection compared with aortic aneurysms.
