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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate hemodynamic patterns in end-side coronary artery bypass grafting with different anastomosis length by computational fluid dynamic study in the native coronary stenosis model.

methodsThe fluid dynamic computations were carried out using ANSYS CFX. Incision length was set to be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 mm. The angle between the two blood vessels corresponded to the length of the incision. Native vessels were set to be 90% stenosis. The radius of both native and graft vessels was set to be 2 mm. The inlet boundary condition was set by the sample of the transient time flow which was measured intraoperatively.

resultsThe energy efficiency was higher and energy loss was lower when the anastomosis length was longer until 8 mm. However, energy efficiency was lowest and energy loss was highest in the 10-mm model. In the 10-mm incision model, the streamline showed the scanty bypass flow in the bottom. Vortex showed that only 10-mm model showed the vortex just distal to the stenosis in the native inlet, and more vortex in native outlet than other length models. The oscillatory shear index (OSI) was higher in the outlet top in all models. And only 10-mm model showed high oscillatory index just distal to the stenosis.

conclusionsIn the end-side anastomosis, an anastomosis length of 8 mm was the ideal length with less flow complexity, low OSI, and less energy loss and high energy efficiency in the native 90% stenosis model.
