Keeping NO in No-Touch Saphenous Vein Bypass Grafts.
Article in Brazilian journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2026. 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
The saphenous vein is the most commonly used conduit in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery. Graft patency is improved using the no-touch technique where the vein is harvested with minimal trauma, avoiding high pressure distension and maintaining normal vessel architecture. Various cells that are damaged when using conventional harvesting are preserved using the no-touch technique and are a source of nitric oxide. The no-touch technique is becoming accepted more widely as is the role of nitric oxide in improved saphenous vein graft patency. However, there are conflicting views regarding the tissue sources of nitric oxide.
