Preoperative albumin corrected anion gap is associated with in-hospital and long-term mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in a retrospective cohort study.

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
Background: Coronary artery disease remains a global health concern and the leading cause of death. Till today, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the main treatment strategies for coronary artery disease, especially for Multivessel coronary disease or complex coronary lesions. The present study aimed to explore the relationship of preoperative albumin corrected anion gap (ACAG) with mortality in all those patients who undergoing CABG. Methods: All the patients undergoing CABG were included in the study. All clinical data were collected from CareVue and MetaVision system. The predictive value of ACAG for mortality was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate regression models were constructed to determine the association of ACAG with mortality. Results: A total of 2,180 patients were identified and divided into a high ACAG group (ACAG ≥16.0 mmol/L) and low ACAG group (ACAG <16.0 mmol/L) according to the ROC analysis. Patients in the high ACAG group were older and presented with more comorbidities and concomitant valvular surgeries. Further more, in the high ACAG group, we observed a higher length of stay in the intensive care unit [3.88 (2.15, 7.09) Conclusions: Preoperative ACAG is an independent risk factor for in-hospital and long-term mortality in CABG patients. A higher ACAG may relate to severe coronary artery stenosis and cardiac dysfunction, which is more likely to lead to a postoperative systemic inflammatory response, microcirculation disorder, and subsequent complications.
