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

We present here a unique case in which a 63-year-old man developed diffuse coronary vasospasm on postoperative day (POD) 1 following uneventful aortic valve replacement, replacement of ascending aorta, and coronary artery bypass. Subsequent emergent coronary angiogram demonstrated diffuse native coronary artery vasospasm that was only transiently responsive to intracardiac nitroglycerin, resulting in persistent cardiogenic shock and severe biventricular dysfunction. The patient was, thus, placed on femoral-femoral venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with Impella support. This strategy allowed the weaning of vasopressors and enabled the resolution of the vasospasm. The patient was ultimately discharged on POD 17 without further complications. This case demonstrates our management strategy to provide life-saving support for patients facing postcardiac surgery refractory vasospasm.
