Statin Use Among Women and Men Following Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundLimited data exist on sex differences in guideline-recommended statin therapy for secondary prevention after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). We examined sex differences in statin use after CABG and the association between sex-specific statin use and mortality. METHODS AND
resultsData from the Austrian national cardiac surgery registry and federal social insurance claims database for patients who underwent CABG between 2013 and 2021 were used. Multivariable logistic regression models were calculated to obtain women-to-men odds ratios for filling any statin and high-intensity statin prescriptions. Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the association between statin use and mortality. A total of 15 448 patients (19% women) were included. During the 5 years after CABG, statin use decreased from 95.7% to 85.9% in men and 95.2% to 84.3% in women (P for trend <0.0001;
conclusionsWomen were as likely as men to fill a statin prescription after CABG and more likely to fill a high-intensity prescription. Statin use was associated with a similar mortality risk reduction among women and men.
