Delay in Surgery for Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm in Hemodynamically Stable Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
introductionThoracic aortic aneurysm or abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAA/AAA) is a fatal surgical emergency, and time to surgery can be a key factor in improving survival outcomes in patients. In this study, we examined the association between systolic blood pressure on arrival and door-to-surgery time in patients with ruptured TAA/AAA, hypothesizing that patients with ruptured thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms without hypotension may have longer door-to-surgery times than those with hypotension.
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted at two community hospitals, Shonan Kamakura General Hospital and Tokyo Nishi Tokushukai Hospital, in Japan, and included patients with ruptured thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysms who were admitted to these hospitals from 2010 to 2021. Door-to-surgery time was compared between patients with stable blood pressure (>90 mmHg) and those with hypotension (≤90 mmHg) using multivariable linear regression.
resultsAmong 94 patients (median age 82 years), 29.8% were in hypotension on arrival. Hemodynamically stable patients had a longer door-to-surgery time than those with hypotension (152 vs. 95.5 min, p = 0.003). Multivariable analysis showed significantly shorter door-to-surgery times for patients with hypotension (percent difference, -26.3%; 95% CI, -48.7% to -4.0%).
conclusionHemodynamically stable patients with ruptured TAA/AAA can have longer door-to-surgery times, leading to avoidable delays in successful treatment. This study underscores the need for heightened clinical vigilance among physicians, as a delay in treatment may lead to worse outcomes in these patients.
