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 previously healthy 14-year-old man presented with acute chest pain, abdominal pain, and right lower-extremity acute limb ischemia with sensorimotor deficit. Computed tomography angiography demonstrated a complicated type B aortic dissection with right common and internal iliac occlusion and visceral malperfusion. Emergent endovascular repair using thoracic stent grafts, a bare-metal dissection stent with septum rupture, and bilateral iliac stenting restored perfusion. The patient remained ambulatory with normal ankle-brachial indices at 12-month follow-up. This case illustrates an endovascular repair with adjunctive distal true lumen stabilization for a rare pediatric complicated acute type B aortic dissection.
