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

backgroundAdult patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at an elevated risk of experiencing postoperative complications. However, there is currently no consensus on the most accurate instrument for assessing clinical outcomes following the occurrence of such complications in cardiac surgery.

objectiveThe objective was to validate the comprehensive complication index (CCI

methodsThis retrospective study included 1896 adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery between September 2023 and October 2024. Among these patients, 849 developed postoperative complications. Complications were graded using the CDC, which were then converted to the CCI

resultsThe median age of the patients was 58.0 years; the median CCI
