Perivascular Adipose Tissue Is a Major Source of Nitric Oxide in Saphenous Vein Grafts Harvested via the No-Touch Technique.

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
Background Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are broadly used in coronary artery bypass grafting despite their inferior patency compared with arterial grafts. Recently, the no-touch technique (NT), in which an SVG is harvested with a pedicle of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) without conduit distension, was shown to improve long-term patency compared with conventional preparation (CV), wherein outer tissue is removed with distension. The NT was also reportedly associated with reduced atherosclerosis. Although endothelial damage provoked by conventional distension may underlie poor patency when CV is performed, the precise mechanisms underlying the salutary effects of the NT have been unclear. Methods and Results Residual SVGs prepared with CV (CV-SVGs) or NT (NT-SVGs) were obtained during coronary artery bypass grafting. Nitric oxide (NO
