The Effect of Obesity on Short- and Long-Term Outcome after Surgical Treatment for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundA paradox of lower morbidity and mortality in overweight or obese patients undergoing cardiac surgery has been described; however, knowledge about the influence of obesity in patients with acute Type A aortic dissection (AAD) is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of obesity on short- and long-term outcomes after surgical treatment for AAD.
methodsBetween 01/2004 and 12/2022, 912 patients with a BMI of 18.5 or greater were operated on for AAD. Patients were grouped according to their BMI (normal weight: BMI 18.5-24.9,
resultsObese patients were younger at the time of AAD (
conclusionsThere are no indications that the obesity paradox is applicable in the setting of AAD. Since obese patients are affected by AAD at a younger age, obesity might constitute a risk factor for AAD. However, obesity does not influence short- or long-term survival. Regardless of body weight, immediate surgical therapy remains the treatment of choice for AAD.
