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

Persistent false lumen (FL) perfusion after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection remains challenging, especially in large FLs. We present successful FL thrombosis using a modified version of the candy-plug-the "black candy-plug" technique. With no re-entry available, the FL was accessed by intravascular ultrasound-guided flap penetration. A modified Excluder aortic extender was deployed in the FL, reinforced with coil-in-plug, and the residual gap was sealed with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, achieving complete FL occlusion. Follow-up computed tomography confirmed stable device position, total FL thrombosis, and favorable early remodeling. The black candy-plug technique offers a practical option for large FLs.
