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

Background: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for postoperative acute hepatic dysfunction in patients aged ≤30 years with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods: This retrospective study included clinical data from patients who underwent surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) at Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, and Henan Provincial Chest Hospital. Eligible patients were divided into an acute hepatic dysfunction (AHD) group and a non-AHD group according to their MELD scores. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for postoperative AHD. Subsequently, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to assess the predictive performance of the identified factors. Results: A total of 122 patients were enrolled, comprising 100 males (81.97%) and 22 females (18.03%), with a median age of 28.00 years (IQR: 25.00-29.00). Postoperative AHD occurred in 34 patients (27.87%), who were assigned to the AHD group, while the remaining 88 patients (72.13%) formed the non-AHD group. Baseline comparisons revealed significant differences between the two groups in history of hypertension, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), total protein (TP), albumin, creatinine (Cr), prothrombin time (PT), and INR (all Conclusion: Elevated admission serum creatinine level is associated with an increased risk of postoperative acute hepatic dysfunction in patients aged 30 years or younger with acute type A aortic dissection. Accordingly, routine assessment and serial monitoring of this biomarker are essential for the early identification of high-risk individuals and for optimizing perioperative management.
