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

Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) encompasses a clinically heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Genetic studies over the past two decades have significantly expanded our understanding of the molecular landscape underlying heritable TAAD, revealing contributions from multiple interconnected biological pathways. This review systematically summarizes more than 75 genes implicated in TAAD pathogenesis, categorizing them according to major mechanistic roles including TGF-β signaling, extracellular matrix remodeling, smooth muscle cell contractility and cytoskeletal regulation, cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion, metabolic processes, ion transport, and transcriptional regulation. Special emphasis is placed on emerging genes with variable or overlapping clinical phenotypes, dual-mechanism candidates, and their implications for personalized clinical management, including surveillance and surgical intervention thresholds. The integration of molecular insights into clinical practice, along with cautious consideration of genes of uncertain significance, promises to enhance diagnostic precision and risk stratification in individuals and families affected by heritable aortic disease.
