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

Fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair offers a less invasive alternative to open surgery for complex aortic arch pathologies. However, access to dedicated total arch fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair devices remains limited. Physician-modified endografts represent a feasible and adaptable strategy in such cases. In this report, we describe the use of the Zenith Alpha Thoracic 2.0 (ZTA2) (Cook Medical) stent graft in the creation of a physician-modified, triple inner-branched device specifically designed for total endovascular repair of the aortic arch. Key device-specific modifications and procedural techniques that facilitate arch repair are discussed.
