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

purposeTo investigate the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) and analyze the effects of OSAHS on the incidence of post-OPCABG complications, length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) and hospitalization, and hospital expense. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis prospective study included patients undergoing OPCABG at Beijing An Zhen hospital from January 2018 to December 2018. OSAHS was diagnosed by using a portable sleep monitor before surgery.

resultsAmong 74 patients, the prevalence of OSAHS and moderate to severe OSAHS (apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15) was 70% and 53%, respectively. Compared with the no to mild OSAHS group (AHI < 15), the moderate to severe OSAHS group presented a lower ejection fraction (P = 0.013). Between these two groups, the incidence of post-OPCABG complications; the duration of intubation, ICU stay, and hospitalization; and the hospital expense did not differ. Notably, the ejection fraction was significantly negatively correlated with the duration of ICU stay and hospital expense.

conclusionsPatients undergoing OPCABG with severe OSAHS are likely to exhibit a low ejection fraction and poor heart function, which may require a longer ICU stay and incur higher hospital expenses.
