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
For patients with a chronic aneurysmal aortic dissection (CAAD), closure of all entries and reentries, leading to complete exclusion of the false lumen, likely results in shrinkage of the false lumen and aortic remodeling. One technique to interrupt the false lumen blood flow and achieve complete exclusion is to occlude the entry with a vascular plug. However, depending on the size and location of the target entry, sufficient occlusion of the entry and resolution of false lumen blood flow may not be achieved even if the vascular plug is placed in the expected position due to the porous nature of the plug. Herein, we present a technique for entry closure in CAAD using a physician-modified vascular plug, which combines the Amplatzer Vascular Plug and an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prosthetic patch to create a water-tight seal. This technique enables effective and reliable entry closure in CAAD, even when the entry site is close to a vital side branch, such as the arch vessels and the mesenteric artery, and standard stent graft use is not possible.
