Endotracheal Tube Duration in Elderly Patients after the Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery.
Article in Tanaffos, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn elderly patients, the management of the endotracheal tube after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) can be challenging because they often have complex comorbidities. This study was done to determine endotracheal tube duration in elderly patients after CABG. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study was conducted on 397 patients aged over 65 years under mechanical ventilation after CABG. Patients in two groups of endotracheal tube duration of less than 8 h and more than 8 h were compared. Medical records were used for data gathering. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis test, and logistic regression model were used for data analysis.
resultsEndotracheal tube duration was 9.9± 5.89 h in elderly patients. According to the results of the Mann-Whitney U test, there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the history of smoking (p = 0.023), history of diabetes (p= 0.062), left ventricular ejection fraction (p= 0.028), and type of operation in terms of emergency and non-emergency (p= 0.069). The logistic regression model showed predictive variables of the endotracheal tube duration after CABG in elderly patients over 65 years, including the history of smoking (1.179- 4.543, CI: 95%, β=0.839, and, p=0.015), history of myocardial infarction (0.188- 1.019, CI: 95%, p= 0.055, β= -0.827), and the left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50% (0.202-0752, CI: 95%, p= 0.005, β= -0.943).
conclusionConsidering the predictive factors, the duration of the postoperative endotracheal tube can play an important role in the careful care of elderly patients after CABG.
