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

(1) Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) frequently coexists with thoracic aortic disease and may increase the risk of adverse outcomes after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Whether routine preoperative coronary angiography (CAG) improves outcomes remains unclear. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 177 patients undergoing elective TEVAR between 2015 and 2025 with a median follow-up of 4.9 years. Two analyses were performed: patients who underwent preoperative CAG versus those who did not, and patients with versus without CAD. Survival was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and overlap-weighted Cox regression. (3) Results: Preoperative CAG was performed in 94 patients (53.1%) and identified newly diagnosed or progressive CAD in 42 (44.7%). Overall, 24 patients (13.6%) underwent coronary revascularization before TEVAR. Patients with CAD were older and had a greater comorbidity burden. Despite these differences, preoperative CAG was not associated with differences in in-hospital mortality (2.1% vs. 6.0%,
