Outcomes of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection in Octogenarians: Tokyo Acute Aortic Super-Network Registry.
Article in Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 2026. 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
objectivesThe increasing prevalence of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) among octogenarians necessitates robust, large-scale data to inform surgical decision-making and risk stratification. Thus, we investigated the multicentre Tokyo Acute Aortic Super-Network database to demonstrate in-hospital mortality trends in this vulnerable patient population.
methodsWe analysed patients with ATAAD transported to the network's participating hospitals between January 2015 and December 2022. The study population was stratified into 2 age-based groups: octogenarians (≥80 years) and non-octogenarians (<80 years). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified independent predictors of in-hospital mortality specifically within the octogenarian group.
resultsAmong 5361 patients, 1467 (27.4%) were octogenarians. Overall mortality was significantly higher in the octogenarians compared to non-octogenarians (34.5% vs 15.9%; P < .001), whereas operative mortality for those undergoing surgery remained acceptable (10.5% vs 8.1%; P = .035). Multivariable analysis revealed that open false lumen (odds ratio [OR], 3.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.51-5.67; P < .001), shock at arrival (OR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.68-4.08; P < .001), out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (OR, 18.99; 95% CI, 7.72-46.72; P < .001), in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (OR, 17.39; 95% CI, 6.21-48.67; P < .001), and cerebral malperfusion (OR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.16-4.06; P = .016) were related to higher mortality in octogenarian patients. Conversely, surgical intervention (OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.10-0.22; P < .001) and higher serum albumin levels (OR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.42-1.00; P = .049) were associated with lower risk of mortality.
conclusionsAlthough octogenarians with ATAAD had higher overall mortality, operative mortality among selected patients undergoing surgery remained acceptable, suggesting that advanced age alone should not preclude surgical intervention.
