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.

Abstract

Bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting is considered a superior choice for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). While the 10-year outcomes of BITA grafting from the recent Arterial Revascularization Trial (ART) are still pending, numerous observational studies have demonstrated the advantages of BITA grafting. These include better long-term graft patency and freedom from arteriosclerosis, in addition to higher survival rate compared to CABG using only the left internal thoracic artery (ITA). The different BITA configurations are
