1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The impact of sex on hospital readmission rate after cardiac surgery is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to analyse sex-specific differences and underlying factors in 30-day readmission rate after cardiac surgery. Methods: We conducted a single center study including all patients after major cardiac surgery (excluding aortic dissection and left ventricular assist device implantation) from January 2012 to September 2020. Reasons for readmission were adjudicated according to all available medical records. We calculated incidence rate ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for female sex with re-admission crude and adjusted for plausible confounding factors using negative binomial regression. Results: 4,868 patients were included in the analysis. The median [Interquartile range] age was 68 [60 to 74] years and 24% ( Conclusion: Readmission rate and reasons for 30-day readmission after major cardiac surgery were similar between men and women.
