Preoperative Diagnostic Assessment of Patients with Cardiovascular Risk Factors Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery: A 2025 Update.
Review in Methodist DeBakey cardiovascular journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite medical advances and increased perioperative testing, mortality and cardiovascular complications of noncardiac surgery (NCS) have hardly declined since the early 2000s. Studies demonstrate a disproportionate overutilization of preoperative diagnostic testing with a concurrent underutilization of interventions that have been shown to meaningfully modify mortality. Consequently, there has been a paradigm shift in the approach to perioperative testing. Current thinking advocates for a more judicious and individualized approach-that is, reserving noninvasive testing for select cases at highest risk of periprocedural cardiovascular events, where it may more effectively alter management. Thus, this review provides an update of the latest evidence-based recommendations on preoperative diagnostic assessment of patients with cardiovascular risk factors undergoing NCS, proposes a framework that can be referenced when approaching such a patient in clinical practice, and highlights areas that need more data to guide decision-making in clinical practice.
