Bodyweight affects mortality in an L-shape pattern in patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting.
Article in Future cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe role of body composition as a risk factor for adverse outcomesduring coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) has been controversial. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of body weight on mortality in patients undergoing CABG.
methodUsing a large NIS database and ICD-10 coding for different bodyweight categories, we evaluated the effect of cachexia, overweight, obesity, and morbid obesity on in-hospital mortality after CABG. We evaluated the available database containing ICD10 coding from 2016- 2020.
resultsWe found that cachexia was the strongest independent predictor of in-hospital mortality whereas obesity had a protective effect. Over the 4-year sample size, patients with cachexia had nearly a 4-fold increase in mortality compared to patients with normal weight despite adjusting for age and comorbidities (4.06 CI 2.7-6.0,
conclusionCachexia is a powerful predictor for in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing CABG. Overweight and obesity have protective effect which disappears with morbid obesity.
