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

A single-stage extensive aortic replacement is necessary for infected stent graft explantation after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). However, establishing selective cerebral perfusion and antegrade myocardial protection while ensuring a clear view of the distal aorta is challenging. We adopted a semi-clamshell approach with rib cross for a case of infection following hybrid TEVAR. This approach provides visualization of the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and the descending aorta down to the diaphragm. It is a viable option for cases requiring total arch and distal descending aorta replacement, offering reliable cerebral and myocardial protection, particularly in open conversion of hybrid TEVAR.
