The relationship of sex and aortic diameter at the time of acute type A aortic dissection.
Article in JTCVS open, 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
Objective: Evaluate sex differences in patients undergoing repair of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods: Sex-stratified, single-center cohort study of patients undergoing ATAAD repair from 1997 to 2022. The primary outcome was aortic diameter at time of presentation with ATAAD. Secondary outcomes were mortality, myocardial infraction, stroke, hemodialysis, tracheostomy, re-exploration for bleeding, a composite of major adverse events, and long-term survival. Results: In 390 consecutive patients (150 women), men were younger than women (61.0 years; interquartile range [IQR], 50-70 years vs 70.5 years; IQR, 59-78 years; Conclusions: There was no sex difference in aneurysm size at the time of presentation of ATAAD, even after adjustment for body mass index, and no interaction between aneurysm size and sex, suggesting that aortic diameter remains a reasonable criterion for intervention irrespective of sex.
