Impact of the period of the day on all-cause mortality and major cardiovascular complications after arterial vascular surgeries.
Article in PloS one, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundConflicting results are reported about daytime variation on mortality and cardiac outcomes after non-cardiac surgeries. In this cohort study, we evaluate whether the period of the day in which surgeries are performed may influence all-cause mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing non-cardiac arterial vascular procedures.
methods1,267 patients who underwent non-cardiac arterial vascular surgeries between 2012 and 2018 were prospectively included in our cohort and categorized into two groups: morning (7 a.m. to 12 a.m., 79%) and afternoon/night (12:01 p.m. to 6:59 a.m. in the next day, 21%) surgeries. Primary endpoint was all-cause mortality within 30 days and one year. Secondary endpoints were the incidence of perioperative myocardial injury/infarction (PMI), and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE, including acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, arrhythmias, cardiovascular death) at hospital discharge.
resultsAfter adjusting for confounders in the multivariable Cox proportional regression, all-cause mortality rates at 30 days and one year were higher among those who underwent surgery in the afternoon/night (aHR 1.6 [95%CI 1.1-2.3], P = 0.015 and aHR 1.7 [95%CI 1.3-2.2], P < 0.001, respectively). Afternoon/night patients had higher incidence of PMI (aHR 1.4 [95%CI 1.1-1.7], P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE (aHR 1.3 [95%CI 0.9-1.7], P = 0.074).
conclusionsIn patients undergoing arterial vascular surgery, being operated in the afternoon/night was independently associated with increased all-cause mortality rates and incidence of perioperative myocardial injury/infarction.
