Aortic Geometric Atlas: Centile-Based Reference Charts and Pathological Signatures Across the Adult Lifespan.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The aorta is a site of major cardiovascular burden, yet its clinical assessment on computed tomography (CT) remains limited to manual diameter measurements. Here we present the Aortic Geometric Atlas, a comprehensive characterization of thoracic aortic geometry, realized through the Aortic Geometry Toolkit (AGT), an automated pipeline we developed to extract 38 aortic geometric phenotypes (AGPs) across anatomically delineated subsegments. Applying AGT to 62,366 participants representing 140,319 CT studies, we constructed sex-specific, continuous, centile-based reference ranges spanning nine decades of the adult lifespan from 35,648 participants without aortic disease. We then performed a phenome-wide time-to-event analysis for incident disease, identifying 861 prognostic associations across 155 phecodes, with non-caliber geometry contributing predictive value beyond diameter, and derived disease-specific AGP signatures for cardiovascular risk stratification. Together, the Aortic Geometric Atlas provides a population-scale reference for individualized aortic assessment, positioning AGPs as early subclinical markers of incident cardiovascular disease.
