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

Mechanical intravascular hemolysis (MIH) is a known complication in patients with prosthetic cardiac devices and grafts, often caused by mechanical stress on red blood cells and potentially leading to severe anemia requiring surgical intervention. However, some patients are considered a high surgical risk. We present a case of a 35-year-old patient with severe MIH caused by deformation of an ascending aortic prosthesis. Owing to recent and previous cardiac surgeries, the patient was deemed inoperable. After extensive investigations, percutaneous stent implantation in the aortic prosthesis was performed. During the index hospitalization and at subsequent follow-up examinations, the patient recovered well, with a decline in the degree of hemolysis. Data regarding percutaneous management of MIH remain limited, based on case reports and small series. This case highlights the importance of the implementation of multidisciplinary management and rethinking traditional approaches, which were key to the success of this case.
