1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundFew studies have assessed sarcopenia identified by erector spinae muscle (ESM) using thoracic computed tomography (CT) before cardiac surgery. We aimed to explore the relationship between sarcopenia evaluated via ESM and poor outcomes following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in elderly patients.

methods268 patients older than 65 years who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB at our institution in 2020 were included in the retrospective, single center, cohort study. Preoperative chest CT scans were used to measure the cross-sectional areas of the ESM (ESM

resultsThe ESM

conclusionOur study identified preoperative sarcopenia, assessed via ESM muscle mass on chest CT, as an independent predictor of postoperative complications and long-term overall mortality in elderly cardiac surgery patients with CPB.
