When is the Ideal Time to Calculate the Vasoactive Inotropic Score as a Predictor of Mortality and Morbidity in Cardiac Surgery? A Retrospective Study.
Article in Annals of cardiac anaesthesia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the prediction of vasoactive inotropic score (VIS) on early mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to determine the ideal time for score calculation. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included patients who underwent isolated on-pump CABG surgery between November 2021 and November 2022. Pre, intra, and postoperative data were obtained by retrospective chart review. The final VIS value in the operating room (VISintra) and the highest VIS value in the first 24 hours in the intensive care unit (VISmax) were calculated. The patients were divided into two groups; Group 1 who developed early postoperative morbidity and mortality and Group 2 who did not. And the data were analyzed by groups.
resultsA total of 221 patients with a mean age of 63.49 ± 9.96 years were evaluated and 73 (33%) were in Group 1. The cut-off value for VISintra was determined to be 6.20, VISmax was 6,05. VISintra and VISmax values were significantly higher in the poor outcome group. Multivariate analysis showed that only VISmax value was an independent variable on mortality-morbidity.
conclusionsOur results imply that the vasoactive inotropic score is an easy and inexpensive score to calculate and can be used as a specific scoring system to predict poor early outcomes in CABG patients. According to statistical analyses, the most predictive time among VIS measurements was VISmax, the highest value calculated in the ICU in the first 24 hours postoperatively.
