1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The number of patients with dialysis-dependent end stage renal failure (ESRF) and coronary heart disease (CAD) has increased in recent years. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become the standard treatment for CAD in this patient group, but is still considered as a risk procedure due to increased mortality and morbidity. In a retrospective study we analyzed our clinical results of isolated CABG in 40 dialysis-dependent patients with ESRF (5 female and 35 male, mean age 65+/-8.4 years) and the use of extracorporeal circulation. The perioperative control group comprised 51 patients (10 female and 41 male, mean age 67+/-7.3 years) with normal renal function and isolated CABG. Demographic and preoperative data were comparable in both groups. Hospital mortality was 2.5% in patients with ESRF and 0% in patients with normal renal function. Morbidity was comparable in both groups. The mean number of grafts was 3.1+/-0.9 in the dialysis group and 2.9+/-0.8 in the control group. In the follow-up of the dialysis group (34+/-23 months) 8 patients died. CABG in patients with dialysis-dependent ESRF can be performed with good clinical results and morbidity comparable to patients with normal renal function.
