Single-center early efficacy evaluation of Fontus branch-type intraoperative stenting for acute type a aortic dissection.

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.
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
objectiveTo explore the clinical application value of the new Fontus intraoperative single-branch stent in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).
methodsNinety ATAAD patients admitted to the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery of Nanjing Gulou Hospital from March 2022 to June 2023 who met the exclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed, with Fontus stent applied intraoperatively in 33 cases and Cronus stent applied intraoperatively in 57 cases. Clinical data of preoperative baseline data, intraoperative indexes, perioperative period and postoperative follow-up were collected from both groups.
resultsThe rate of false lumen closure of the descending aorta at the level of the pulmonary bifurcation was significantly higher in the Fontus group than in the Cronus group; and the rate of endoleak was lower after Fontus stent application for modified arch island anastomosis.
conclusionsThe new Fontus intraoperative single-branch stent is safe and effective in ATAAD and can reduce the incidence of postoperative endoleak.
