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

Objective: The association between chronic kidney disease and adverse outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting is well established; in contrast, the association between chronic kidney disease and readmission has been less thoroughly investigated. We hypothesized that patients at higher chronic kidney disease stages have greater risk of readmission, poorer operative outcomes, and greater hospitalization cost. Methods: Using the 2016-2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database, we identified 519,387 patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients were stratified by chronic kidney disease stage based on International Classification of Diseases 10 Results: Hospital readmission, in-hospital mortality, and cost progressively increased with worsening chronic kidney disease stage; patients with end-stage renal disease had the highest in-hospital mortality rate (7.2%), hospitalization costs ($59,616) ( Conclusions: Chronic kidney disease stage is strongly associated with mortality, new-onset dialysis dependence, readmission, and higher cost after coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients with chronic kidney disease 4 and 5 and patients with end-stage renal disease are readmitted at the highest rates. Although further research is needed, a targeted approach may reduce costly readmissions and improve outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with chronic kidney disease.
