Intensive care unit length of stay and mortality comparison between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass graft: a retrospective study.
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundRecently, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) techniques, both on-pump (ONCABG) and off-pump (OPCABG), were compared to seek the most effective approach to reduce the cost of prolonged intensive care unit length of stay (ICU LOS) and mortality. This study aims to compare ICU LOS and mortality in ONCABG and OPCABG.
resultsDemographic data of 1569 patients show the variance of characteristics. The analysis shows significant and longer ICU LOS in OPCABG than ONCABG (2.151 ± 0.100 vs. 1.573 ± 0.246 days; p = 0.028). Similar results were demonstrated after adjustment of covariates effects (3.146 ± 0.281 vs. 2.548 ± 0.245 days; p = 0,022). Logistic regression shows no significant difference in mortality in OPCABG and ONCABG, both in the unadjusted (OR [CI 95%] 1.133 [0.485-2.800]; p = 0.733) and the adjusted models (OR [CI 95%] 1.133 [0.482-2.817]; p = 0,735).
conclusionICU LOS was significantly longer in OPCABG patients than in ONCABG patients in the author's centre. There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups. This finding highlights a discrepancy between recently published theories and the practices observed in the author's centre.
