Successful Outcome Following Repair of Stanford Type A Ascending Aortic Dissection and Sternal Fracture Following Blunt Trauma: A Report of a Rare Case.
Article in Cureus, 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
We present a rare case of post-traumatic ascending aortic dissection along with a sternal fracture. The patient underwent a successful surgical procedure involving excision of the aorta affected by dissection, replacement of the ascending aorta, and repair of the sternal fracture. Although traumatic injuries to the aorta are considered a common cause of death, reports on successful surgery for ascending aortic (Stanford type A) dissection with sternal fracture are scarce. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such case reported from India, and only a few similar cases of traumatic ascending aortic dissection with solid viscus injuries of rib fractures have been reported from other countries. This case indicates that successful outcomes could be anticipated if diagnosed early and treated aggressively with replacement or repair of the ascending aorta on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
