1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

There is a growing recognition of the importance of longitudinal outcomes after cardiac surgery defining durability of interventions, with an increasing number of publications using a variety of data sources. The purpose of this review is to provide a clinically relevant summary of commonly used longitudinal data sources in cardiac surgery to facilitate broader research use. A group of clinical cardiac surgeons with content expertise in longitudinal data identified the commonly used and high-quality data sources. An overview is provided for each data source as as specific strengths and limitations unique to the clinical interpretation of studies from each data set.
