Factors Associated with Acute Pulmonary Embolism in Patients with Hypoxia After off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Case-Control Study.

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
Purpose: This study aims to explore the factors linked to the occurrence of acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) within a cohort of patients exhibiting hypoxic saturation (oxygen saturation levels falling below 93%), subsequent to undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 296 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, divided into PE group (100 cases) and non-PE group (196 cases) according to whether they had PE or not. The preoperative and postoperative information of patients were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: The results from a multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated the following factors were independently linked to PE following OPCABG: history of smoking (OR = 3.019, 95% CI, 1.437-6.634, Conclusion: When patients have a history of preoperative smoking, decreased preoperative arterial oxygen pressure, postoperative lower limb DVT, increased postoperative pulmonary artery pressure, and elevated postoperative D-Dimer and NT pro-BNP levels, it is recommended to take perioperative preventive measures, timely diagnostic evaluation, and if necessary, anticoagulant treatment. In addition, the results of this study may improve the diagnostic sensitivity of medical staff for postoperative PE in OPCABG, thereby increasing the detection rate and potentially reducing the need for excessive medical imaging procedures.
