Predictive value of preoperative platelet count and D-dimer levels for spinal cord injury following acute type a aortic dissection.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThis study aims to identify the risk factors contributing to spinal cord injury (SCI) following a type A acute aortic dissection (TA-AAD).
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at a single center and involved 481 patients who received frozen elephant trunk stent implantation for TA-AAD. Additionally, these patients underwent total arch replacement with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. This study was performed at Fuwai Hospital between September 2016 and April 2020.
resultsThe resulting data of the multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that preoperative platelet count (odds ratio [OR] = 0.774) and D-dimer levels (OR = 2.247) could serve as independent predictors for postoperative SCI in patients with TA-AAD.
conclusionThe findings indicate that preoperative platelet count and D-dimer levels are independent risk factors for postoperative SCI in patients with TA-AAD. This study holds significant clinical implications regarding the prognosis and therapeutic responses for patients with TA-AAD.
