Comparison of postoperative atrial fibrillation after total coronary revascularization via left anterior thoracotomy and conventional median sternotomy 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
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common arrhythmia that occurs after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), contributing to increased mortality, morbidity, longer hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Total coronary revascularization via anterior thoracotomy (TCRAT) has recently emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to the traditional median sternotomy (MS). In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, 424 patients who underwent elective CABG between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2024 at three centers were analyzed. Of these, 221 patients received TCRAT and 203 underwent MS. To minimize baseline differences, a propensity score matching of 1:1 was performed based on age, sex, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left atrial diameter, CHA
