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

Objective: New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is common. Additional information regarding long-term clinical and financial outcomes is important. This statewide analysis compares periprocedural and long-term outcomes between patients with and without POAF. Methods: Data on patients who underwent isolated CABG from 2013 to 2021 without atrial fibrillation (AF) history from a statewide Society of Thoracic Surgeons database (N = 18,377) were merged with the state health services database. Patients with POAF (n = 4656) were compared with those without POAF (n = 13,721). Outcomes were incidence and cost of readmissions, examined with χ Results: The incidence of POAF was 25% (male = 26% vs female = 24%, Conclusions: POAF remains common after CABG, with greater cost and risk-adjusted morbidity reported. Follow-up data reveal a significant number of patients continue to be impacted by AF. This study suggests targeted discharge planning and surveillance for patients with POAF to improve long-term outcomes and reduce cost of complications.
