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

backgroundHepatic dysfunction (HD) increases the morbidity and mortality rates after cardiac surgery. However, few studies have investigated the association between HD and acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection (ADIAD) surgery. This retrospective study aimed to identify risk factors for developing HD in patients who received acute type I aortic dissection repair and its consequences.

methodsA total of 830 consecutive patients who received ADIAD surgery from January 2014 to December 2019 at our center were screened for this study. The End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score more than 14 was applied to identify postoperative HD. Logistic regression model was applied to identify risk factors for postoperative HD, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression assay were conducted to analyze the association between HD and postoperative long-term survival.

resultsAmong 634 patients who eventually enrolled in this study, 401 (63.2%) experienced postoperative HD with a 30-Day mortality of 15.5%. Preoperative plasma fibrinogen level (PFL) [odds ratio (OR): 0.581, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.362-0.933, P = 0.025], serum creatinine (sCr) on admission (OR: 1.050, 95% CI 1.022-1.079, P < 0.001), cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (OR: 1.017, 95% CI 1.010-1.033, P = 0.039), and postoperative mechanical ventilation (MV) duration (OR: 1.019, 95% CI 1.003-1.035, P = 0.020) were identified as independent risk factors for developing postoperative HD by multivariate analyses. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the long-term survival rate was significantly different between patients with or without postoperative HD. However, the hazard ratios of long-term survival for these two groups were not significantly different.

conclusionsHD was a common complication after ADIAD surgery and associated with an increasing 30-Day mortality rate. Decreased PFL, elevated sCr, prolonged CPB duration, and longer postoperative MV time were independent risk factors for postoperative HD.
