Comparative Study of Male and Female Patients Undergoing Frozen Elephant Trunk Total Arch Replacement.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundOur aim was to investigate outcomes and long-term survival in male and female patients after frozen elephant trunk (FET) total arch replacement.
methodsBetween March 2013 and January 2023, 362 patients underwent aortic arch replacement via the FET technique. We compared patient characteristics and intra- and postoperative data between male and female patients.
resultsMale patients were significantly younger (
conclusionsFemale patients are older but reveal fewer cardiovascular risk factors; aneurysms are more common in female than male patients. As female patients undergo concomitant surgical procedures less often, their operative times are shorter. While survival and outcomes were similar, female patients suffered from postoperative new in-stent thrombus formation significantly more often.
