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

Twin registries provide data on concordance of aneurysmal disease between twin sets, but provide no granular data. Four sets of monozygotic (MZ) twin families with aortic pathology and aortic imaging were identified within a single health care system to create a Dice score for aortic comparison. MZ twin Dice scores in families A through D were 32.3%, 34%, 46.5%, and 42.4% respectively. Nontwin siblings Dice scores were 31% and 33.2% for families B and C, respectively. Our case series illustrates that MZ twin aortas have higher rates of concordance compared with their nontwin siblings.
