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

Coronary endarterectomy (CE) emerged as a necessity to achieve complete surgical myocardial revascularization in patients with diffusely diseased coronary arteries and it also serves as aid to coronary bypass grafting (CABG). The safety and postoperative prognosis of this procedure are still matters of debate. There are no clear preoperative indications, a standard technique has not yet been established as gold standard and the postoperative management differs depending on each institution. CE of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is technically challenging and potentially hazardous with high risk of postoperative myocardial infarction. In this article, we describe the open technique for CE of the LAD with its specific details, which we believe could be the safest and the best reproductible option. To better understand the profile of a patient requiring such a procedure we present the case of a 73-years old male with diffused coronary artery disease (CAD) and a short review of literature.
