Patient and hospital factors associated with 30-day readmissions after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundReadmission after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is associated with adverse outcomes and significant healthcare costs, and 30-day readmission rate is considered as a key indicator of the quality of care. This study aims to: quantify rates of readmission within 30 days of CABG surgery; explore the causes of readmissions; and investigate how patient- and hospital-level factors influence readmission.
methodsWe conducted systematic searches (until June 2020) of PubMed and Embase databases to retrieve observational studies that investigated readmission after CABG. Random effect meta-analysis was used to estimate rates and predictors of 30-day post-CABG readmission.
resultsIn total, 53 studies meeting inclusion criteria were identified, including 8,937,457 CABG patients. The pooled 30-day readmission rate was 12.9% (95% CI: 11.3-14.4%). The most frequently reported underlying causes of 30-day readmissions were infection and sepsis (range: 6.9-28.6%), cardiac arrythmia (4.5-26.7%), congestive heart failure (5.8-15.7%), respiratory complications (1-20%) and pleural effusion (0.4-22.5%). Individual factors including age (OR per 10-year increase 1.12 [95% CI: 1.04-1.20]), female sex (OR 1.29 [1.25-1.34]), non-White race (OR 1.15 [1.10-1.21]), not having private insurance (OR 1.39 [1.27-1.51]) and various comorbidities were strongly associated with 30-day readmission rates, whereas associations with hospital factors including hospital CABG volume, surgeon CABG volume, hospital size, hospital quality and teaching status were inconsistent.
conclusionsNearly 1 in 8 CABG patients are readmitted within 30 days and the majority of these are readmitted for noncardiac causes. Readmission rates are strongly influenced by patients' demographic and clinical characteristics, but not by broadly defined hospital characteristics.
