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

Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB) has considerable benefits over the conventional coronary artery bypass grafting procedure. This case report presents the MIDCAB procedure in a multivessel coronary disease using triple arterial grafts and four arterial anastomoses. The initial anastomosis was made between the left intrathoracic mammary artery (LIMA) and the radial artery (RA), as an end-to-side "T" graft. Next, the RIMA was used to left anterior descending anastomosis. The first obtuse marginal (OM1) branch was grafted to allow LIMA-OM1 side-to-side anastomosis. Then, with the diagonal branch (Dg) opened, the formation of a "jumping" anastomosis was made using LIMA-OM1-Dg. The posterior descending artery (PDA) was used to create a LIMA-RA-PDA.
