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

Persistent false lumen in chronic type B aortic dissection complicates endovascular repair. The hot wire technique offers a precise method for septal fenestration, enabling endovascular treatment when standard approaches are not feasible. We present a case of a 65-year-old man with prior ascending aorta replacement and elephant trunk, who developed a large descending aortic aneurysm with residual dissection and a false lumen in which the elephant trunk resided, prohibiting conventional thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Septal fenestration allowing continuous flow was created using the hot wire technique, demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of this technique in complex chronic dissections with challenging anatomy.
