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

In situ laser fenestration during thoracic endovascular aortic repair is effective and widely utilized, although achieving orthogonal laser alignment can be difficult in patients with complex aortic arch anatomy. A modification of the previously described "squid capture" technique is presented, employing a temporary, removable wire loop to stabilize a sheath against the endograft and facilitate perpendicular laser positioning. This approach minimizes intravascular manipulation, reducing the risk of embolic events, stroke, and arterial injury. A case involving a 60-year-old male with residual dissection and aneurysmal degeneration illustrates the technique's application. The method is simple, reproducible, and suited for challenging anatomy.
