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

A patient with Marfan syndrome and prior open aortic surgery presented with a chronic post-type B dissection thoracoabdominal aneurysm measuring 6.5 cm in diameter. He underwent successful endovascular repair using a surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft. During follow-up, he developed infectious aortitis and permanently lost right kidney function. Multiple endovascular reinterventions were performed, including complete relining with a T-branch endograft to address graft degeneration. After 12 years, the aneurysm sac remained stable at 6.3 cm; renal function stabilized without dialysis, and he continued prolonged antibiotic therapy. This case demonstrates the technical feasibility and long-term durability of sequential endovascular repair in Marfan-associated aortic disease under multidisciplinary management.
