Performance of scoring systems for predicting mortality after cardiac surgery in the elderly.

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
Objective: To evaluate the predictive ability of traditional risk scores and frailty assessment for 30-day mortality in elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Materials and Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted, including elderly patients (≥75 years old) who underwent cardiac surgery between January 2005 and December 2015. EuroSCORE II, STS (Society of Thoracic Surgeons) score, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and Electronic Frailty Index scores were calculated to assess their predictive ability for 30-day mortality using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and corresponding areas under the curve (AUC). Results: A total of 203 patients were included during the study period, of whom 33% underwent isolated coronary bypass surgery. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 17.6%. Patients who died within the first 30 days exhibited higher scores on EuroSCORE II, STS, and the Electronic Frailty Index. The areas under the ROC curves were: EuroSCORE II, 0.74 (95% CI: 0.66-0.81); STS, 0.66 (95% CI: 0.57-0.77); Charlson Comorbidity Index, 0.60 (95% CI: 0.49-0.70); and Electronic Frailty Index, 0.63 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73). Conclusions: In this cohort of elderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery, EuroSCORE II demonstrated the best performance in predicting 30-day mortality.
