The predictive role of modified stress hyperglycemia rate in predicting early pneumonia after isolated coronary bypass surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus.

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
Postoperative pneumonia (PP) is one of the most serious complications following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The recently developed admission blood glucose (ABG)/estimated average glucose (eAG) ratio has been identified as a prognostic marker in cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the predictive role of the modified ABG/eAG (mABG/eAG) ratio in the development of pneumonia during the early postoperative period in diabetic patients undergoing CABG surgery. In this single-center study, diabetic patients who underwent isolated coronary bypass surgery at the Training and Research Hospital between 1 January 2018 and 1 January 2023 were included. Patients who did not develop PP were assigned to the control group, while those who developed PP were assigned to the PP group. A total of 549 patients were included in the study, 478 patients in the control group (median age = 58 years [range 35-81]) and 71 patients in the PP group (median age = 63 years [37-86]). In the multivariate analysis, the use of packed blood products (odds ratio [OR] = 1.685, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.453 - 1.892; P = 0.027), mABG/eAG ratio (OR = 1.659, 95% CI: 1.190 - 2.397; P = 0.019), and re-intubation (OR = 1.829, 95% CI: 1.656 - 1.945; P = 0.034) were identified as independent predictors for the development of PP. Our findings demonstrate that the mABG/eAG ratio is an independent predictor of PP in diabetic patients undergoing CABG surgery. Based on our results, high-risk patients can be identified by calculating the mABG/eAG ratio.
