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

Contained rupture is a rare complication of aortic aneurysms and occurs less frequently in the thoracic aorta compared to the abdominal aorta. Rapid enlargement of a contained rupture is a high risk factor for free rupture. Radiography and cross-sectional imaging play a vital role in the prompt diagnosis of contained rupture, which is significant given its treatment may differ from that of other aortic complications. We describe a case of a 64-year-old man with multiple previous infections of the spine and bloodstream who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis to evaluate acute hypoxic respiratory failure, hematuria, and abdominal pain. He was found to have an enlarged, contained rupture of a thoracic aortic aneurysm at the diaphragmatic hiatus. Surgical repair could not be performed due to chronic infection and underlying comorbidities.
