Morphologic prognostic factor for thoracoabdominal aortic dilation after acute type A dissection repair.
Article in Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 2024. 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
objectivesRisk factors for late-term aortic dilation after acute type A aortic dissection repair have not been well examined. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between the abdominal aortic true lumen location and thoraco-abdominal aortic dilation after surgical repair for acute type A aortic dissection.
methodsPatients who were preoperatively diagnosed with acute type A aortic dissection between April 2014 and July 2022 were included in this study. We evaluated the renal artery-level dissected aortic morphology and classified the study population into 2 groups: the ventral (those with the true lumen located on the ventral side) and the dorsal (other patients not assigned to the ventral group) groups, based on the location of the true lumen. Aortic dilation was defined as thoraco-abdominal aortic expansion ≥5 mm on 1-year postoperative computed tomography images.
resultsWe examined 49 surgical patients who were assigned to the ventral (n = 22) and dorsal (n = 27) groups. The number of patients with ≥5 mm thoraco-abdominal aortic dilation after the operation was significantly higher in the ventral group than in the dorsal group (90.9% vs 51.9%, P = 0.009). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the ventral type was an independent prognostic factor for thoraco-abdominal aortic dilation after the operation (odds ratio, 6.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.56-23.77; P = 0.009).
conclusionsThe location of the true lumen of the abdominal aorta in acute type A aortic dissection may be a prognostic factor for thoraco-abdominal aortic dilation after surgical repair.
