Emergent Total Endovascular Repair Using Retrograde in Situ Branched Stent Grafting for Ruptured Retrograde Aortic Dissection.

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.
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
An 85-year-old bedridden woman (modified Rankin Scale 5) presented with a contained rupture of an acute retrograde aortic dissection (Type B0,7). Because open surgery was prohibitive due to severe frailty, an emergent total endovascular repair was performed using single-branch, retrograde in situ branched stent grafting (RIBS). Two conformable GORE TAG devices established a Zone 1 seal, and the left common carotid artery was preserved by in situ needle fenestration using a percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage needle and bridged with a VIABAHN VBX stent. To limit embolic risk, cerebral blood flow was transiently interrupted by manual right carotid compression, direct left carotid clamping, and left subclavian balloon occlusion. Operative time was 114 minutes, and the postoperative course was uneventful without neurological deficits. One-year computed tomography showed favorable aortic remodeling and no endoleak. Single-branch RIBS may offer an immediate, off-the-shelf salvage option for high-risk patients when open repair is not feasible.
