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

introductionMarked isolated elevation of cardiac biomarkers (CK-MB, cardiac troponin I, heart-type fatty acid binding protein, hFABP) within 48 hours after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), even in the absence of electrocardiographic/angiographic evidence of myocardial infarction (MI), indicates prognostically significant cardiac procedural myocardial injury. There are no data exploring the relationship between the complexity of coronary atherosclerotic burden and early post-CABG myocardial injury.

aimTo analyse correlations and predictive strength of the SYNTAX score (SS) for early myocardial injury after on-pump CABG. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred and twenty consecutive patients undergoing CABG were included in the analysis. We obtained data on demographics, medical history, cardiovascular risk factors and echocardiography. Cardiac biomarkers were assessed at 6 hours after CABG. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate independent variables correlated with cardiac biomarkers.

resultsThe most significant predictor for myocardial injury was SS, strongly correlated with the rise of all cardiac biomarkers (

conclusionsDefining myocardial injury as elevation of cardiac biomarkers between normal values and the cut-off for MI has a tremendous clinical significance as patients maintain high negative prognostic rates. SS could be used to predict post-operative rise of cardiac biomarkers, the correlation between SS and myocardial injury being very solid.
