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

backgroundThis study aimed to validate the predictive performance of the GERAADA (German Registry for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection) score in predicting 30-day mortality rate in patients with acute type A aortic dissection in China.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 526 patients who underwent surgical treatment for acute type A aortic dissection at our institution between 2018 and 2021. The predictive performance of the GERAADA score was evaluated using calibration (observed-to-expected ratio and Hosmer-Lemeshow test) and discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve). Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors of 30-day mortality rate. Stratified analyses were conducted to assess performance across different risk categories.

resultsThe cohort exhibited distinct characteristics, including younger age, longer intervals from onset to admission, and more extensive aortic arch procedures. The GERAADA score demonstrated good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test,

conclusionsThis study validated the GERAADA score in China for predicting mortality risk in patients with acute type A aortic dissection, showing strong performance in discrimination and calibration. We also developed a mortality risk assessment strategy based on the GERAADA score, offering a practical framework for clinical use. The modular design allows for easy adaptation across centers, although further multicenter studies are needed to confirm its generalizability.
