Risk factors analysis and prediction model construction of low cardiac output syndrome after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

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
backgroundTimely assessment of Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) risk after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is crucial, yet hindered by the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria beyond symptoms, therapy response, and ultrasound. PURPOSE: This study aims to develop, construct, and internally validate a predictive model to predict low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). PATIENTS AND
methodsUsing a clinical dataset of 765 OPCAB patients treated between May 2018 and July 2020, encompassing admission, surgical, and postoperative data, a predictive model was developed. Feature selection was performed using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression. The selected features were then incorporated into a multivariate logistic regression model to establish the final predictor. Model performance was evaluated using the C-index (discrimination), calibration plots (calibration), and decision curve analysis (clinical validity). Internal validation via bootstrap resampling assessed model robustness.
resultsThe final prediction model incorporated the following predictors: age, smoking history, ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, lactic acid levels, room-air pre-operative PaO₂, room-air pre-operative oxygen saturation, carotid artery stenosis, myocardial enzyme levels, internal mammary artery condition, intra-operative blood transfusion volume, intra-operative blood loss, ICU stay duration, ventilator time, and IABP implantation. The model demonstrated excellent discrimination, with a C-index of 0.943 (95% CI: 0.893-0.993) in the derivation cohort and 0.9429 in the bootstrap-validated cohort. Decision curve analysis indicated significant net clinical benefit for model-guided intervention when the predicted LCOS risk threshold exceeded 1%.
conclusionThis study developed a predictive model that integrates significant risk factors for post-OPCAB LCOS, encompassing demographics, cardiac metrics, laboratory values, procedural variables, and post-operative course. By enabling accurate risk stratification (C-index 0.94), this model may serve as a practical clinical tool to guide timely interventions for high-risk patients.
