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

A 61-year-old man with a previous total arch reconstruction with frozen elephant trunk presented with an expanding descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in the setting of a residual chronic type B aortic dissection. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair facilitated by thermal septotomy was complicated by left renal ostial occlusion from a dynamic postseptotomy dissection flap, manifesting as flank pain and elevated creatinine, both of which improved (creatinine decreased to 1.75 from 2.2 mg/dL) following revisional trans-septal left renal artery stenting. This case highlights that dynamic dissection flaps following septotomy may lead to visceral vessel ostial occlusion and can be successfully treated with trans-septal stenting.
