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

In this case series, innovative shape memory polymer (SMP) devices were used to treat the aortic dissection false lumen (FL) of five patients. The open-cell, porous structure of expanded SMP contributes to its radiolucency, low radial force, and conformability. The devices were designed to address the unique needs of treating the FL: sufficiently large volume, detachable and stable to minimize migration risk, segmented for flexibility, and with a range of dimensions. All five cases were technically successful. A decrease in total aortic diameter, true lumen restoration, and FL reduction were observed through 6- to 12-month follow-up. The mean changes in maximum aorta diameter from preoperative measurements were -5.8 ± 6.9 mm (30 days, n = 5), -12.0 ± 9.4 mm (6 months, n = 4), and -9.3 ± 0.8 mm (12 months, n = 2). No SMP device/procedure-related complications occurred.
