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

introductionThe optimal timing of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations in patients with recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains unclear.

aimTo assess the influence of timing on post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing CABG following AMI. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn this retrospective analysis 12,224 consecutive patients undergoing CABG were included. 2477 (20.5%) patients had a history of AMI. Based on timing, patients were divided into 3 groups: those operated within 7 days of AMI; those operated after 7 days but within 1 month; and a third group operated after 1 month but within 3 months. The 3 groups were compared in terms of baseline, intra-operative, and post-operative morbidity and mortality. Multivariate analysis was carried out to assess the independent influence of timing of CABG on outcomes.

resultsThere was no difference in terms of previous neurological events (

conclusionsThe duration between MI and CABG has a direct influence on outcomes after CABG. While it is clear that the longer the duration between MI and CABG, the lower the mortality risk, it is however difficult to decide on an exact cut-off time frame.
