Sarcopenia as a Prognostic Marker of Early Mortality After Surgery for Acute Aortic Dissection: A Prospective Cohort Study.

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
introductionPerioperative factors can significantly accelerate the development of sarcopenia in patients with aortic dissection, weakening their metabolic and functional reserves. Progressive sarcopenia after surgery is associated with a worse prognosis, increased mortality, and a higher risk of complications, which makes its early diagnosis and prevention key elements of care for this group of patients.
methodsThe study included 116 patients hospitalized from April 2022 to May 2025 due to aortic dissection. Prospective studies were conducted using standardized tools as well as clinical data. The effect of blood transfusion, grip strength as measured with a hand dynamometer, and survival of patients after aortic dissection 3 months postoperatively were evaluated.
resultsIn the group of patients with a high risk of stroke, completely dependent and suffering from insomnia, transfusions were used significantly more often. SGA scores, CHA2DS2-VA score, and Barthel scale scores were dependent on the level of pain at discharge. Grip strength was significantly higher among patients who survived 3 months. The differences reached statistical significance on the second postoperative day.
conclusionThe results indicate that malnutrition is a key factor in the clinical condition of patients, increasing the risk of sarcopenia, stroke, and the severity of insomnia. At the same time, a higher degree of malnutrition is associated with reduced functional independence, which in turn affects the patient's overall condition. The study found that malnutrition is a key factor in worsening the clinical condition of patients with aortic dissection, increasing the risk of sarcopenia, stroke and exacerbation of insomnia. The relationship between lower self-reliance and higher insomnia levels underscores the complex interplay among nutritional status, physical functioning, and sleep quality.
