Biomaker evaluation for major adverse cardiovascular event development in patients undergoing cardiac Surgery.
Article in Advances in laboratory medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: The postoperative period of cardiac surgery (CS) is associated with the development of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). However, the evaluation of MACE after CS by means of biomarkers is poorly developed. We aimed to evaluate postoperative biomarkers that could be associated with MACE. Methods: Two Hundred and ten patients who underwent CS were enrolled during the study period. The diagnosis of MACE was defined as the presence of at least one of the following complications: acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke presented during intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and 30-day mortality after CS. High-sensitive troponin T (hs-TnT), C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, interleukin-6, and immature platelet fraction (IPF) were measured on ICU admission and after 24 h. The difference between both measurements (Δ) was calculated to assess their association with MACE. Early infected patients (n=13) after CS were excluded from final analysis. Results: The most frequent surgery was single-valve surgery (n=83; 38%), followed by coronary artery bypass graft (n=72; 34%). Postoperative MACE was diagnosed in 31 (14.8%) patients. Biomarker dynamics showed elevated values at 24 h compared with those at ICU admission in patients with MACE versus no-MACE. Multivariate analysis showed that ΔIPF (OR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.110-1.960; p=0.008) and Δhs-TnT (OR: 1.001; 95% CI: 1.0002-1.001; p=0.008) were independently associated with MACE. Conclusions: These findings suggest that postoperative ΔIPF and Δhs-TnT may be useful biomarkers for the identification of patients at risk of MACE development.
