The value of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in the surgery for combined valvular and coronary heart disease.

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
Background: Combined valve and coronary surgery is a commonly performed surgical technique for treating coexisting valvular and coronary artery disease. This study aims to investigate the effect of reducing the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass by utilizing the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) technique on the short-term prognosis of patients. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 884 patients were divided into groups undergoing OPCABG or on-pump CABG combined with valve surgery based on the CABG technique. We evaluated the relationship between the surgical technique and operative mortality, postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF), stroke, acute kidney failure (AKI), and perioperative myocardial infarction. Propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting (IPTW) were employed to mitigate differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. Results: The incidence of POAF and AKI were lower in the OPCABG group after IPTW (POAF: 29.5% vs. 39.5%, Conclusion: The OPCABG technique is associated with reduced occurrences of POAF and AKI in patients undergoing valve and concomitant coronary surgery and can be safely used.
