Retrospective observational analysis of a coronary artery bypass grafting surgery patient cohort: Off-pump versus on-pump.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objectives: To determine whether surgical technique has an effect on prognosis in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Design: Retrospective observational. Setting: Single center. Participants: All the off-pump (OPCABG) and on-pump (ONCABG) patients at Turku University Central Hospital in 2018. Interventions: None. Measurements and main results: After propensity score matching, perioperative, 1-year and 3-year mortality did not differ between the groups. The ONCABG patients received more allogenic red blood cells (1.3 vs. 0.6 units, p = 0.020), autologous red blood cells (564 vs. 285 ml, p < 0.001) and crystalloids (3388 vs. 2808 ml, p < 0.001), and had higher postoperative values of troponin T (581 vs. 222, p = 0.001) and lactate (1.69 vs. 1.23, p < 0.001) than the OPCABG patients. Conclusions: The both techniques seem equally safe. However, there may be some benefits to avoiding using a heart-lung machine, such as lower infused fluid volumes. Myocardial damage may also be milder and postoperative hemodynamics more balanced in OPCABG patients, based on lower levels of troponin T and lactate.
