Outcomes of Type B Dissection in Marfan Syndrome: The Cornell Aortic Aneurysm Registry.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2026. 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
backgroundRates of type B dissection are nearly double those of type A in Marfan syndrome. However, data surrounding clinical and surgical outcomes of type B dissection and associated life expectancy are limited.
methodsWe investigated outcomes and survival of type B dissection in a large, single-center Marfan syndrome registry.
resultsFifty of 362 (13.8%) patients experienced a type B dissection, with a median postdissection follow-up of 8.9 (interquartile range, 3.9-15.4; range, 0-33.4) years. Although dissection rates were comparable in men and women (14.4% versus 13.4%,
conclusionsType B dissection in Marfan syndrome is associated with a shortened life expectancy, but only in men, and usually requires surgical intervention. Distal anastomosis dissection is an underappreciated, important complication after proximal aortic surgery.
