Presentation, management, and clinical outcomes of acute type A dissection: Does sex matter?
Article in JTCVS open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Male-female differences in clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of acute type A aortic dissection (AD-A) have been reported; however, robust data are scarce. This study examined those differences. Methods: Consecutive adults diagnosed with AD-A between 2007 and 2017 in 4 referral centers were included retrospectively. Baseline data, operative characteristics, and mortality and morbidity during follow-up were collected using patient files, questionnaires, and referral information. Results: The study included 889 patients (37.5% female). Females were significantly older at presentation (median, 67.0 [interquartile range [IQR], 59.0-75.0] years vs 61.0 [IQR, 53.0-69.0] years; Conclusions: These findings highlight a distinct clinical profile at presentation with AD-A between males and females, while treatment approach and short-term mortality were comparable. The relatively poor long-term survival in females and male-/female-specific risk stratification warrant further investigation.
