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

Cardiac surgery carries substantial risk of early postoperative complications including postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF, 30-50%), periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI), acute kidney injury (AKI, 3.8-54.4%), bleeding (3-5%), stroke, and cognitive dysfunction. This narrative review synthesizes 30+ studies on circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as perioperative biomarkers, identifying strongest evidence for cardiac-enriched miR-499 (AUC 0.93, sensitivity 85.7%, specificity 93.3%) and miR-133a (peaks 1-3 h post-declamping) in PMI diagnosis -outperforming troponins' 6h kinetics. POAF prediction favors preoperative miR-483-5p (AUC 0.78), while AKI, bleeding (miR-223), and neurological injury show emerging but less validated candidates (miR-21, miR-210-3p). We critically analyze limitations across studies and outline clinical translation barriers (3-6 h assay times, heparin inhibition, lacking standardization) with solutions for point-of-care implementation.
