Off-pump CABG surgery in left main coronary artery disease: a single-center prospective registry.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 and objective: The treatment of left main (LM) coronary artery disease (CAD) requires complex decision-making. Patients with left main multi-vessel coronary artery disease (LM CAD) have concerns regarding incomplete revascularization and reduced survival with off-pump (OPCAB) when compared with on-pump (ONCAB) coronary bypass surgery. To evaluate outcomes among high-risk LM CAD patients undergoing OPCAB, we performed a registry-based prospective study. Methods: We performed 4868 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries from Jan 2013 to Jun 2019 with 4662 (95.8%) OPCAB. In OPCAB cohort, we had 1323 patients (28.4%) with significant LM (> 50%) triple vessel CAD. Data regarding clinical features, extent of CAD, operative details, in-hospital outcomes, and 3-year follow-up were obtained. Descriptive statistics are reported. Results: The study cohort ( Conclusions: This study shows that off-pump CABG surgery is safe in patients with LM CAD. There is low in-hospital mortality and MACE and 3-year outcomes are similar to the published data of LM CAD patients who undergo on-pump CABG.
