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

backgroundCoronary artery aneurysms are focal dilatations that exceed the diameter of normal adjacent vessels by a factor of at least 1.5-fold. Multimodal imaging is essential when attempting to improve the efficacy of curative interventions in aneurysm patients as it can facilitate the comprehensive functional and anatomical characterization of these intricate vascular lesions. In this report, we describe the case of a patient with giant diagonal branch aneurysms accompanied by obstructive coronary artery disease. Successive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and surgical resection were performed to effectively treat these conditions, and these procedures were aided by the use of three-dimensional (3D) printed models of the heart.

conclusionEmploying computed tomography-guided reconstruction procedures in combination with the use of multiplanar, multicolor 3D printed models can enable surgeons to better assess the dimensions, source, and relationships of target vessels with adjacent tissues, thereby ensuring that preoperative planning can be completed more effectively.
