Association between surgical timing and postoperative outcomes in type A acute aortic dissection.

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: This study aimed to assess how the time interval between onset of symptoms and hospital admission associates with postoperative outcomes after type A acute aortic dissection (TAAD) repair. Methods: From January 2011 to January 2020, 1406 consecutive patients underwent TAAD repair at our center. We included 1228 patients who were admitted within 72 hours of symptom onset and divided them into 2 groups: 867 patients in the early (≤12 hours) and 361 in the late (>12 hours and <72 hours) admission group. Results: Hypotension (11% vs 7.6%, Conclusions: Our analysis indicates that the timing of surgery in patients with TAAD is primarily driven by the presence of more severe symptoms and signs of ischemia and, despite early treatment, these patients have increased rates of complications and mortality. This emphasizes the importance of the clinical status on admission, rather than the time, as the main driver for postoperative complications.
