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

Aortic dissection during pregnancy most commonly occurs in women with undiagnosed aortopathies. High-risk aortopathies can be managed successfully throughout pregnancy within a pregnancy heart team model of care. The 2025 European Society of Cardiology guidelines provide comprehensive recommendations on the management of cardiac disease during pregnancy. We describe 4 cases of high-risk and very-high risk aortopathies that were successfully managed through pregnancy, including 1 patient with bicuspid aortic valve aortopathy who underwent successful cardiac surgery in the early second trimester. Pregnancy should no longer be a barrier to gold-standard or guideline-directed care for our high-risk cardiac patients.
