High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T in Prediction and Diagnosis of Early Postoperative Hypoxemia after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
To investigate the relationship of preoperative high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) with early postoperative hypoxemia (EPH) following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Records of patients undergoing OPCAB between 2018 and 2022 were reviewed. Baseline characteristics and postoperative arterial blood gas analysis were derived from the cardiovascular surgery electronic medical records. Preoperative hs-cTnT levels were measured routinely in all patients. Logistic regression analyses were performed to test the association of preoperative hs-cTnT with EPH. A total of 318 OPCAB patients were included, who had a preoperative hs-cTnT test available for review. Before surgery, 198 patients (62%) had a rise in hs-cTnT level (≥14 ng/L) and 127 patients (40%) had a more severe hs-cTnT level (≥25 ng/L). The preoperative hs-cTnT level was associated with EPH (odds ratio per ng/L, 1.86; 95% confidence interval 1.30−2.68; p < 0.001), prolonged intensive care unit stay (odds ratio, 1.58; 95% confidence interval 1.08−2.32; p = 0.019), and delayed extubating time (odds ratio, 1.63; 95% confidence interval 1.15−2.34; p = 0.007). On multivariable analysis, adjusted for BMI, hypertension, smoking status, serum creatinine, and cardiac function, preoperative hs-cTnT remained an independent factor associated with EPH. Elevation of hs-cTnT concentrations are significantly associated with EPH after OPCAB. Review of presurgical hs-cTnT concentration may help identify patients who would benefit from OPCAB to improve surgical risk assessment.
