Gender related outcome differences in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Surgical myocardial revascularization shows impaired outcomes in women compared to men. Investigation of gender related outcome differences comprises of different operative strategies potentially hampering interpretation of data. We herein aimed to investigate gender related outcome differences in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) only. Methods: Between 2016 and 2021, 1,075 consecutive patients underwent OPCAB at our center. Of those 880/1,075 were male (81.9%) and 195/1,075 were female (18.1%). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for investigating differences in survival probabilities. Identification of risk factors was conducted by logistic regression. Results: Male patients showed a higher rate of reduced LVEF < 35% (88/880, 10% vs. 9/195, 4.61%; Conclusions: Male and female patients present similar 30-day outcomes after OPCAB suggesting a potential benefit of OPCAB in female patients. However, female patients receive more saphenous vein grafts compared to men, which may lead to impaired long-term outcomes.
