Abnormal Wall Shear Stress Area is Correlated to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Remodeling 1 Year After Surgery.

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
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a common intervention for coronary artery disease; however, it suffers from graft failure, and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. To better understand the relation between graft hemodynamics and surgical outcomes, we performed computational fluid dynamics simulations with deformable vessel walls in 10 study participants (24 bypass grafts) based on CT and 4D flow MRI one month after surgery to quantify lumen diameter, wall shear stress (WSS), and related hemodynamic measures. A second CT acquisition was performed one year after surgery to quantify lumen remodeling. Compared to venous grafts, left internal mammary artery grafts experienced lower abnormal WSS (< 1 Pa) area one month after surgery (13.8 vs. 70.1%, p = 0.001) and less inward lumen remodeling one year after surgery (- 2.4% vs. - 16.1%, p = 0.027). Abnormal WSS area one month post surgery correlated with percent change in graft lumen diameter one year post surgery (p = 0.030). This study shows for the first time prospectively a correlation between abnormal WSS area one month post surgery and graft lumen remodeling 1 year post surgery, suggesting that shear-related mechanisms may play a role in post-operative graft remodeling and might help explain differences in failure rates between arterial and venous grafts.
