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

Bird-beak configuration after endovascular arch repair refers to a gap between the proximal stent and the lesser curvature of the aortic arch that can potentially lead to life-threatening complications through the formation of a 1A endoleak. This case describes a patient who developed a symptomatic type 1A endoleak due to bird-beaking, years after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair and a complex supra-aortic debranching. The case was further complicated by a stenosis of the left common carotid artery diagnosed with duplex ultrasound and intraoperative transcranial Doppler exam. Zone 0 thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair was performed with the Gore Thoracic Branch Endograft device with additional retrograde left carotid stenting. We demonstrate the importance and clinical applicability of multimodality imaging during preoperative and intraoperative evaluation, which can help in decision-making, troubleshooting, and to guide the procedure.
