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

Background: Use of the radial artery (RA) as a conduit during coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with better outcomes compared with vein. However, data on the RA as a sequential graft are limited. This study assessed the safety and efficiency of using sequential RA grafting. Methods: Patients with sequential vs nonsequential RA grafting by 1 surgeon from 2 hospitals from 2001 to 2022 were compared using propensity matching. Primary outcomes were total artery revascularization (TAR) and incomplete revascularization. Secondary outcomes included cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times, total number of arterial grafts, 30-day mortality, and complications. The Mann-Whitney Results: Of 517 patients who received RA grafting, 107 (20.7%) were sequential. After matching, there were 107 patients in the sequential group and 321 in the nonsequential group. Sequential RA use was associated with more TAR ( Conclusions: Patients with sequential RA grafting had more TAR with equivalent outcomes compared with those with single RA. These findings support the safety and efficiency of sequential RA grafting.
