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

Purpose: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is widely recognized as the gold standard treatment for patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). The identification of reliable hematologic predictors for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after CABG remains limited. In recent years, the platelet-to-hemoglobin ratio (PHR) has emerged as a promising prognostic marker in various cardiovascular conditions and malignancies. This study investigated the prognostic value of the PHR for predicting in-hospital and short-term adverse outcomes after CABG. Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 1672 Chinese patients who underwent isolated CABG surgery between 2015 and 2021. PHR was calculated as platelet count (×10 Results: In our study, individuals with elevated PHR levels were more likely to experience 3P-MACE and stroke. After propensity matching, the incidence of 3P-MACE was 5.7% in the high PHR group (PHR≥1.890) and 1.5% in the low PHR group ( Conclusion: Elevated PHR (≥1.890) was independently associated with postoperative 3P-MACE, reflecting the integrated effects of thrombosis and anemia risk. Although PHR demonstrated modest discrimination as a single variable, its integration into a multivariable nomogram improved predictive accuracy. These findings are hypothesis-generating and future multicenter, prospective validation studies are warranted.
