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

The physiologic changes of pregnancy make pregnant women with Marfan syndrome (MFS) more vulnerable to complications of aortic disease. Significant hemodynamic changes in the third trimester and postpartum may explain the increased susceptibility to aortic complications during this time frame. The rate of cardiovascular complications in MFS is 2%-6%. We presented a case of Type B aortic dissection in a pregnant patient with MFS in the third trimester and normal evaluation at the initial prenatal assessment. This case report highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation during pregnancy and the consideration of whole aorta imaging in addition to the routine transthoracic echocardiographic assessment of the aortic root.
