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

Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting is less invasive. Proximal anastomoses at the ascending aorta, in contrast, are technically difficult to perform because of the limited field of view. A man in his 60s undergoing haemodialysis required minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting for left anterior descending artery and circumflex arterial restenosis. We successfully performed minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting with a proximal graft anastomosis of the descending aorta. A thoracotomy was performed to extend the lateral approach to the descending aorta. We performed a minithoracotomy using three-dimensional endoscopy for internal thoracic artery harvesting. Endoscopic internal thoracic artery harvesting minimises incision length. The combination of endoscopic and lateral thoracotomy incisions in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting enabled small and lateral thoracotomy incisions.
