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

backgroundStatin utilization had been associated with improved survival after cardiac surgery. We aim to study whether perioperative treatment with statin could be associated with increased postoperative complications.

designThis was a retrospective, descriptive, single-center study. SETTINGS: We analyzed morbidity after cardiac surgery as well as the outcome related to statin therapy in a tertiary cardiac center. PATIENTS: A total of 202 consecutive patients were enrolled over 1 year after cardiac surgery.

interventionPatients were divided into two groups; Group I - statin users and Group II - nonusers. MEASUREMENTS: Measurements were baseline and follow-up laboratory markers for muscular injury including cardiac muscle and hepatic injuries and renal injuries.

resultsThe incidence of rhabdomyolysis and elevation of liver enzymes did not differ between both groups. Postoperative atrial fibrillation was significantly lower in the statin group (

conclusionsTherapy with statin before cardiac surgeries was not associated with high incidence of adverse events.
