Redo coronary artery bypass grafting.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeRedo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can be one of the most technically challenging operations in cardiac surgery. The coronary disease is more advanced, and the coronary targets may be suboptimal. In addition, the patients are typically older and sicker compared to those undergoing primary CABG.
methodsA literature review focused on the epidemiology, operative techniques, and outcomes associated with redo CABG.
resultsThe frequency of redo CABG relative to total CABG procedures has been decreasing over time. From 2000 to 2009, redo CABG decreased from 6.0 to 3.4% of all CABG procedures reported to the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS ACSD) and currently stands at 2%. Risks associated with reoperations include diabetes and renal dialysis. Perioperative mortality for redo CABG is reported to be as high as three times that of primary CABG, but this risk is reduced with experience. Careful preoperative planning including quality imaging and precise surgical technique coupled with meticulous myocardial protection contributes to good outcomes. Experience is important in optimizing outcomes.
conclusionsRedo CABG is a complicated operation and surgical experience, and appropriate perioperative strategies are essential for achieving optimal outcomes.
