Preoperative soluble VCAM-1 contributes to predict late mortality after coronary artery surgery.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundSoluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 has been associated with long-term cardiovascular mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease and to the development of new atrial fibrillation in subjects with cardiovascular risk factors but no evidence of cardiac disease. HYPOTHESIS: Preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 predicts the risk of future all-cause death and cardiovascular death among patients submitted to elective coronary artery bypass surgery.
methodsFrom a cohort of 312 patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass surgery prospectively followed for a median of 6.7 years, we evaluated the prognostic role of preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, inflammatory markers, CHA2DS2-VASc score and development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to establish an association of these parameters with long term all-cause death and cardiovascular death.
resultsDuring 2112 person-years of follow-up, we observed 41 deaths, 10 were cardiovascular deaths. Independently increased levels of preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, POAF, and CHA2DS2-VASc score were associated with all-cause mortality. After multivariate adjustment, elevated preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and POAF were the only independent predictors of all-cause death. Also, preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, POAF, and CHA2DS2-VASc score resulted in being independent predictors of cardiovascular mortality.
conclusionsIncreased circulating levels of preoperative soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, together with POAF and CHA2DS2-VASc score, were significantly associated with future all-cause death and cardiovascular death among patients submitted to coronary artery bypass surgery.
