Localized dissection of ascending aorta and arch rupture due to fire suppressant blast: A rare mechanism of injury successfully managed by urgent surgical intervention.
Article in ARYA atherosclerosis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTraumatic aortic injuries are predominantly caused by high-impact motor vehicle collisions, often due to sudden deceleration. This report presents a rare case of localized dissection and partial aortic arch rupture resulting from a fire suppressant explosion. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old male was transferred following a fire suppressant explosion at a copper smelter. He presented with central chest pain and stable hemodynamics, with no signs of external chest trauma. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed a localized dissection of the ascending aorta and a partial rupture of the aortic arch, in addition to fractures in the hand and foot caused by suppressant debris. The patient subsequently became hemodynamically unstable and required urgent surgical intervention. He underwent ascending aortic and aortic arch repairs. Postoperatively, his course was complicated by a pulmonary embolism, which was managed medically. He was eventually discharged after recovering from his injuries.
conclusionAortic injuries resulting from small-scale blasts can occur. Successful management relies on a high index of suspicion and timely surgical intervention.
