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

introductionhe CHA2DS2-VA score, which is used to determine the risk of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, has been shown to be a predictor of mortality in many cardiovascular diseases. However, there is no data in the literature on the effect of CHA2DS2-VA score on in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). We aimed to determine the effect of CHA2DS2-VA score on in-hospital mortality in patients with AAD.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 113 patients (89 males, 24 females, age 58.7±10.5 years) who underwent surgical treatment for AAD. CHA2DS2-VA scores were calculated. All cases of in-hospital mortality during the follow-up period were identified and recorded. Patients were grouped as with and without mortality.

resultsAmong patients with AAD, in-hospital mortality was observed in 30 cases (27.5%). Mortality rates in patients with CHA2DS2-VA 1, 2, 3 and ≥ 4 were 7%, 13%, 27%, and 53%, respectively. Age, CHA2DS2-VA score, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein serum level independently determined the patients with mortality, and each one unit increase in these parameters predicted 11.3%, 2.19-fold, and 3.2% mortality increase, respectively. In receiver operating characteristic analysis, when the cutoff value of CHA2DS2-VA score was taken as 3, it was found to determine the development of mortality due to AAD with 80.5% sensitivity and 78.6% specificity.

conclusionCHA2DS2-VA score is independently associated with the development of in-hospital mortality in patients with AAD. According to the findings of our study, the CHA2DS2-VA score may serve as a prognostic marker in patients with AAD.
