Long-term graft patency after coronary artery bypass grafting: Effects of morphological and pathophysiological factors.

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
objectiveThe aim of the present study was to identify morphological and pathophysiological factors associated with long-term patency of grafts used in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
methodsA total of 127 patients who underwent CABG between 2000 and 2006 and presented for computed tomography evaluation of graft patency at 139.78±36.64 months post-CABG were analyzed. Patients received 340 grafts (2.68 grafts/patient), 399 distal anastomoses (3.14 anastomoses/ patient), 220 (55.14%) performed using arterial grafts, and 179 (44.86%) using saphenous vein grafts (SVGs).
resultsGraft patency varied according to vessel type and coronary territory. Overall graft patency was 90.16% for the left internal thoracic artery (LITA), 75.55% for the right internal thoracic artery (RITA), 79.25% for the radial artery (RA), and 74.3% for the SVG. The maximum patency rate was obtained with the RA (80.65%) for the right coronary territory, RITA (92.86%) for the anterolateral territory, and SVG (82.54%) for the circumflex territory. The LITA-left anterior descending artery graft occluded in 13 (7.93%) cases, 7 due to competitive flow. The influence of graft length on patency rates after indexing to height was not significant. The target vessel degree of stenosis influenced arterial graft patency rates with an occlusion odds ratio (OR) of 3.02 when anastomosed to target vessels with <90% stenosis. Target vessel caliber also influenced patency rates with occlusion ORs of 2.63 for SVGs and 2.31 for arterial grafts when anastomosed to ≤1.5 mm target vessels.
conclusionMorphological parameters, such as graft type, target territory, target vessel caliber, and degree of stenosis, are important factors conditioning long-term graft patency.
