Impact of body mass index on perioperative mortality of acute stanford type A aortic dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
backgroundObesity may increase perioperative mortality of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). However, the available evidence was limited. This study aimed to systematically review published literatures about body mass index (BMI) and perioperative mortality of ATAAD.
methodsElectronic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases. All observational studies that investigated BMI and perioperative mortality of ATAAD were included. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model. Meta-regression analysis was performed to assess the effects of different clinical variables on BMI and perioperative mortality of ATAAD. Sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the sources of heterogeneity. Egger's linear regression method and funnel plot were used to determine the publication bias.
resultsA total of 12 studies with 5,522 patients were eligible and included in this meta-analysis. Pooled analysis showed that perioperative mortality of ATAAD increased by 22% for each 1 kg/m
conclusionsBMI is closely associated with perioperative mortality of ATAAD. Optimal perioperative management needs to be further explored and individualized for obese patient with ATAAD, especially in elderly and female populations.
