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

Acute type-A aortic dissection is a life-threatening emergency requiring prompt surgical intervention. However, the management of patients presenting with concomitant intracerebral haemorrhage remains challenging, as the risk of neurological deterioration during surgery must be balanced against the risk of fatal aortic rupture. We report the rare case of a 68-year-old patient diagnosed with acute intracerebral haemorrhage involving the parietal lobe and right frontal region in association with acute type-A aortic dissection. Due to the neurological condition, a delayed surgical strategy was chosen. Six weeks after the initial diagnosis, supracoronary hemiarch replacement of the ascending aorta was successfully performed without postoperative neurological complications. This case highlights the complexity of decision-making in patients with simultaneous acute aortic pathology and intracranial bleeding. This educational report emphasises that immediate surgical repair remains the standard of care. The delayed strategy described here was dictated by an absolute contraindication to anticoagulation and reflects an exceptional, individualised management approach rather than a general therapeutic recommendation.
