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

Management of the left subclavian artery (LSA) during aortic arch surgery is complex due to its deep anatomical location and potential pathological alterations, posing risks such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and recurrent laryngeal nerve damage. Revascularization of the LSA is critical in various clinical scenarios to maintain adequate perfusion to the vertebral arteries, spinal cord, and upper limb, especially in patients with anatomical variations, prior bypass surgeries, or increased risk of ischemia. Coverage of the LSA during thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) without revascularization significantly increases stroke and spinal cord ischemia rates. We provided a narrative review, evaluating contemporary open and endovascular options for the treatment of the aortic arch, and consequently of the LSA. Frozen elephant trunk (FET), endovascular strategies (branched and fenestrated TEVAR), but also emerging hybrid devices, are all valuable treatments with respective strengths and limitations to be understood to obtain the best patient-prosthesis match. Individualized treatment selection based on pathology, urgency, and patient factors is essential to optimize outcomes. This evolving paradigm integrates open and endovascular techniques to enhance patient care in complex aortic arch disease.
