Subclinical Hypothyroidism as a Risk for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
Article in Cardiovascular therapeutics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The relationship between hypothyroidism and cardiovascular disease is well established. However, data on subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) and its impact on major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and postoperative complications following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remain limited. This study was aimed at evaluating whether SH is associated with an increased risk of these outcomes. Methods: From 2010 to 2019, 863 patients who underwent CABG for cardiovascular diseases at a reference center were included. The primary outcomes included MACE (composite and individual events: all-cause death, cardiovascular death, stroke, acute myocardial infarction [AMI], and new revascularization) and postoperative complications, including atrial fibrillation (AF), pleural effusion (PLE), pericardial effusion (PCE), infections at any site (IASs), and mediastinitis. Results: SH patients had higher rates of MACE (20.3% vs. 8.2%, Conclusions: SH patients who underwent CABG had a higher frequency of MACE and postoperative complications than those of euthyroid patients.
