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 76-year-old female Jehovah's Witness presented with an acute Stanford type A intramural hematoma. To avoid transfusion, she underwent ascending aortic replacement with a frozen elephant trunk and total fenestration. During chest closure, she developed sudden bilateral lower-limb ischemia, with regional oxygen saturation declining from 70% to 40%. Transesophageal echocardiography confirmed patency of the frozen elephant trunk and revealed rapid collapse of the distal true lumen beyond the stented segment. Emergent angiography demonstrated severe true-lumen compression. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair with distal bare-metal stent support was performed urgently, restoring flow. Stent deployment began 50 min after ischemia onset, and complete reperfusion was achieved 82 min after onset. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 17 without neurologic or ischemic sequelae.
