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

Patients with chronic tracheostoma present a challenge when they require coronary bypass surgery due to an elevated risk of sternal wound infections (SWI). Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) is a robust technique that allows complete surgical revascularization while mitigating the risks of sternal complications and functional decline associated with sternotomy. In such patients at elevated risk for SWI, MICS CABG may represent a viable revascularization strategy to avoid sternotomy. Here, we present a case of a frail, comorbid patient with a chronic tracheostomy and symptomatic multivessel coronary artery disease not amenable to percutaneous therapy referred for MICS CABG.
