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
objectivesDistal stent graft-induced new entry (d-SINE) is a significant complication of frozen elephant trunk (FET) for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study aimed to identify the predictive factors for d-SINE occurrence.
methodsPatients who underwent FET procedures for ATAAD at our institution between January 2015 and December 2024 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were classified into d-SINE positive and d-SINE negative groups, and predictive factors were identified using Fine and Gray competing risk regression.
resultsA total of 84 consecutive patients were included. The overall incidence of distal stent graft-induced new entries was 11.9% (10/84). Distal stent graft-induced new entry occurred at a mean of 102 days (standard deviation 69) postoperatively. A preoperative descending aortic diameter ≥33 mm was an independent predictive factor (subdistribution hazard ratio, 6.11; 95% confidence interval, 1.176-31.740; P = .031).
conclusionsA preoperative descending aortic diameter ≥33 mm was identified as a key predictor of d-SINE following FET for ATAAD. This finding may help identify high-risk patients who require more intensive imaging surveillance after surgery. CLINICAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: E250127-4.
