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

Objectives: Despite the prevalence of saphenous vein graft (SVG) failure following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, SVGs continue to be widely used. This study aimed to investigate the value of the CHA2DS2-VASc score, originally developed for predicting thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation, in predicting SVG failure post-CABG. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 526 patients with a history of CABG who presented with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction between January 2017 and April 2024. SVG failure was defined as exhibiting stenosis of 70% or greater, or complete occlusion. Preoperative CHA2DS2-VASc scores were calculated for each patient. Multivariable analysis was conducted to identify independent predictors of SVG failure. Results: Among the 526 patients, 242 (46%) experienced SVG failure. Patients with SVG failure exhibited higher CHA2DS2-VASc scores. Multivariable analysis identified the CHA2DS2-VASc score (OR: 2.203, 95% CI: 1.672-2.902, p<0.001), time interval after CABG (OR: 1.167, 95% CI: 1.081-1.259, p<0.001), and number of SVGs (OR: 2.378, 95% CI: 1.745-3.241, p<0.001) as independent predictors of SVG failure. Of those parameters, the CHA2DS2-VASc score demonstrated a higher AUC value (AUC=0.796, AUC=0.724, AUC=0.641, respectively). Conclusion: Pre-operative CHA2DS2-VASc score may be predictive of late SVG failure after CABG.
