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: Left main (LM) coronary disease is believed to represent a complex, advanced, and potentially life-threatening atherosclerotic syndrome that can be treated by either percutaneous or surgical interventions. Despite its satisfactory results, the declined number of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is observed. Aim: To compare 10-year survival and point out possible mortality risk factors in patients referred for left main and multivessel OPCAB surgery followed by transit time bypass measurements. Material and methods: There were 159 patients (128 (81%) men and 31 (19%) women) in a median age of 66 (60-70) years enrolled in retrospective analysis who were referred to surgical intervention due to left main (51, 32%) and multivessel (108, 68%) disease. The regression analysis for long-term mortality risk and the Kaplan-Meyer survival curve were analyzed. Results: Multivariable analysis pointed female sex (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03-1.14, Conclusions: Off-pump surgery in the left main disease, compared to multivessel disease, represents a safe surgical technique with satisfactory long-term results. The female sex and diabetes mellitus were found as possible risk factors for 10-year mortality risk in multivariable analysis.
