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: Acute type B aortic dissection requires timely and effective treatment. With recent focus on evaluating the comparative efficacy and safety of novel Castor single-branch covered-stent implantation, this study investigated the efficacy and safety of Castor single-branch covered-stent implantation in the treatment of acute type B aortic dissection, aiming to provide treatment option for patients with acute type B aortic dissection. Methods: Clinical data of 73 patients with acute type B aortic dissection (January 2020 to November 2021) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into control [undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), 35 cases] and Castor single-branch covered-stent implantation surgery (38 cases) groups. Baseline data, early postoperative recovery indicators, incidence of early postoperative complications and mortality, long-term prognosis, long-term efficacy, and changes in aortic diameter before and after surgery were compared. Results: Castor single-branch covered-stent implantation surgery group had significantly shorter intensive care unit (ICU) stay (P=0.03), postoperative hospital stay (P=0.01), total hospital stay (P=0.008), total complication rate (P=0.03) compared to the control group. The number of patients requiring secondary intervention (P=0.01) and formation of new intimal tears at the stent edges (P=0.02) was significantly higher in the control group, whereas proportion of stents in position was lower (P=0.01). In the Castor single-branch covered-stent implantation surgery group, number of patients whose condition improved was significantly higher (P=0.046), and the descending aortic diameter postoperatively was longer (P<0.001). Conclusions: Castor single-branch stent graft implantation appears to offer advantages in terms of early postoperative recovery, lower complication rates, and improved long-term prognosis and effectiveness.
