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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveAcute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a critical and life-threatening condition. To date, surgical intervention remains the primary life-saving treatment. However, this surgical approach is often accompanied by a range of postoperative complications, and the associated mortality rate remains high. In this study, we introduced an innovative technique that utilized tetrafurcate graft eversion for suturing and reinforcing the aortic root, in conjunction with a single-branched stent technique, for the management of ATAAD.
methodA total of eighty-nine ATAAD patients who underwent surgical treatment at Ganzhou People’s Hospital between January 2021 and March 2024 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups based on the surgical technique employed: a conventional group (n = 57) and an modified-technique group (n = 32). A comprehensive analysis of perioperative outcomes was conducted.
resultsThere were no statistically significant differences in preoperative characteristics between the two groups. The intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, assisted-circulation time (ACT), and total operation time in the modified-technique group were significantly shorter than those in the conventional group (P = 0.027, P = 0.009, and P = 0.012, respectively). Moreover, patients in the modified-technique group had less drainage on the first postoperative day (P = 0.011), shorter ventilation time, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and postoperative in-hospital stay (P = 0.014, P = 0.028, and P = 0.017, respectively), as well as a lower postoperative in-hospital mortality rate (P = 0.035).
conclusionCombining tetrafurcate graft eversion for aortic root suturing and reinforcement with single-branched stent implantation offers a simplified, safe, and effective approach for treating ATAAD.
