Left ventricular remodeling and modification of aortic stiffness after endovascular aortic repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveThe aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the changes in aortic stiffness before (pre) and after endovascular aortic repair (ER) for thoracic and abdominal aortic disease, along with the associated changes in left ventricular function.
methodPubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched. Two independent reviewers screened and selected eligible studies, and RevMan 5.4 was used for the statistical analysis.
resultsA total of 28 studies (including 2227 participants) were included. Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) patients had higher pulse wave velocity (PWV) than volunteer participants (Mean difference [MD]:2.08; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.54-3.62, I
conclusionPatients with AAA have significantly higher PWV than age-matched controls. Endovascular repair may be associated with left ventricular structural remodeling, as reflected by changes in LVMI, while no significant effect on LVEF was observed. These adverse remodeling processes may merit consideration during follow-up. Further high-quality studies are needed to confirm these findings and to clarify strategies for reducing aortic stiffness.
