Combined coronary artery bypass grafting and orthopedic fixation in a patient with multiple comorbidities: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Coronary artery disease is a prevalent cardiovascular condition and the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The management of orthopedic injuries requiring surgical fixation is particularly complex in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension (HTN). Coordinating the sequence, timing, and execution of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and orthopedic fixation requires careful consideration of the patient's overall health, surgical risks, and recovery potential. Case presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with a right distal tibial fracture following a fall. His medical history included HTN, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and Kyrle's skin disease. During his hospital stay, he was diagnosed with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Severe multivessel Coronary artery disease was confirmed by catheterization. After interdisciplinary consultation, simultaneous CABG and open reduction and internal fixation of the tibial fracture were performed. He was discharged in good condition and showed positive recovery during a 1-month follow-up. Discussion: This case highlights the complexities of managing patients with multiple comorbidities who require both cardiac and orthopedic surgeries. This simultaneous approach allows for efficient treatment, leading to a shorter hospital stay and recovery period. This report supports the feasibility and benefits of simultaneous surgery in complex clinical scenarios, although further studies are required to establish broader guidelines. Conclusion: Our case emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for managing patients with multiple comorbidities who require concurrent surgical intervention. Preoperative planning and speciality coordination ensured optimal outcomes. Further research is needed to develop standardized guidelines for intraoperative care of patients undergoing simultaneous procedures.
