Comparison of Mid-Term Graft Patency between On-Pump and Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
Observational study in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundMultiple studies have compared on-pump coronary artery bypass (ONCAB) grafting with off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) grafting, but the optimal surgical strategy has yet to be established. Furthermore, there is limited evidence regarding mid-term graft patency rates.
methodsBetween April 2001 and March 2014, 365 consecutive patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG; male: 75%; mean age: 69 ± 10 years). After propensity-score-matched analysis, we assessed the results of 67 patients in each group (ONCAB: group A, OPCAB: group B). The mean follow-up period of graft patency and survival rate was 35 ± 37 months and 54 ± 47 months, respectively.
resultsThere were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. There was a trend for an increased number of distal anastomoses in group B as compared to group A (group A vs. group B: 3.8 ± 1.1 vs. 4.1 ± 1.6, P = 0.17). The total graft patency rate was tend to be lower in group A, but not statistically significant (group A: 156 months, 45.2%; group B: 96 months, 72.6%; P = 0.21). There was no difference for survival and major-adverse-cardiac-and-cerebrovascular-events (MACCE) free rate (P = 0.42 and 0.76, respectively).
conclusionPropensity-score-matched analysis revealed no difference in mid-term survival rate, MACCE free rate, graft patency rates, and number of distal anastomoses between ONCAB and OPCAB groups.
