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

Advancements in endovascular stent graft design have enabled the treatment of distal aortic arch pathologies. However, the length of the proximal landing zone remains a limitation, especially with vascular anomalies like an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) posing additional challenges. A 78-year-old patient underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA), which revealed progressive enlargement of a distal aortic arch aneurysm located beyond an ARSA that coursed between the esophagus and trachea. Following evaluation by the multidisciplinary Aortic Team, a hybrid procedure was planned. A right carotid-to-ARSA bypass was performed and a Castor single-branched stent graft (CSBSG) was deployed in the aortic arch with its side branch directed into the left subclavian artery (LSA), thereby covering the origin of the ARSA. To prevent a type II endoleak, plug embolization of the ARSA origin was subsequently performed. CSBSG is a feasible treatment for distal aortic arch aneurysms, even in the presence of vascular anomalies such as ARSA.
