Gender differences in the dissection properties of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms.

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
objectivesPresentation, management and outcomes in the aortic dissection (AD) of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (ATAA) differ in gender and age. The purpose of this study is to investigate the dissection properties of male and female ATAAs.
methodsPeeling tests were performed to quantitatively determine the delamination strength and dissection energy of 41 fresh ATAA samples (22 males and 19 females) in relatively young (≤65 years) and elderly (>65 years) patients. The delamination strength of the ATAAs was further correlated with patient ages for males and females. The histological investigation was employed to characterize the dissected morphology.
resultsFor elderly patients, circumferential and longitudinal delamination strengths of the female ATAAs were statistically significantly lower than those of the males (circumferential: 31 ± 6 vs 42 ± 6 mN/mm, P < 0.01; longitudinal: 35 ± 7 vs 49 ± 10 mN/mm, P = 0.02). No significant differences were found in the delamination strength between males and females for relatively young patients. The circumferential and longitudinal delamination strengths were significantly decreased and strongly correlated with patient ages for females. However, these correlations were not present in males. Dissection routes propagated in the aortic media to create ruptured surfaces for all specimens. Peeling tests of the male ATAAs generate rougher surfaces than females.
conclusionsThere is a higher propensity of AD occurrence for the elderly females as compared to males with matched ages. Surgeons should be cognizant of the risk of AD onset later in life, especially in females.
