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

backgroundCoronary occlusion during type A aortic dissection is a serious complication, associated with high mortality if not identified and treated promptly. CASE SUMMARY: We present a case of acute type A aortic dissection, diagnosed with intravascular ultrasound during emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Emergency PCI was successfully performed as a bridge to definitive central aortic repair surgery. DISCUSSION: This case highlights the integration of multiple diagnostic cardiac imaging modalities in the time-critical evaluation and management of aortic dissection as a cause for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. This case also demonstrates the coordinated multidisciplinary care essential to the initial and long-term management of this life-threatening condition. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: This case highlights the ability to promptly diagnose acute type A aortic dissection using intravascular ultrasound in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome. Initial reperfusion with PCI can provide a life-saving bridge to definitive surgical repair.
