Do Outcomes After Cardiac Surgery Differ by Preoperative Status and Socioeconomic Deprivation?
Article in Annals of thoracic surgery short reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Preoperative cardiac surgical status (elective and urgent) and socioeconomic deprivation may have an impact on outcomes after cardiac surgery. We sought to examine differences in 30-day postoperative outcomes (resource utilization and mortality) by preoperative cardiac surgical status and socioeconomic deprivation and association of socioeconomic deprivation with 30-day outcomes. Methods: Adults who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting or valve surgery at an urban medical center (January 1, 2019-December 31, 2023) were included in this study. Preoperative status was elective or urgent, with stratification into quartiles by level of socioeconomic deprivation within each cohort. Socioeconomic deprivation was measured by the Area Deprivation Index (ADI; score range, 1 [least deprivation] to 100 [most deprivation]). Analyses included multivariable regression modeling. Results: The elective cohort (n = 2419) had a mean age of 62 ± 12 years (70% male; 77% White); the urgent cohort (n = 603) had a mean age of 62 ± 13 years (70% male; 70% White). Median (interquartile range) hospital length of stay was longer in the urgent vs elective cohort (11 [8-18] days vs 4 [3-6] days; Conclusions: Understanding the effect of preoperative surgical status and socioeconomic deprivation on post-cardiac surgical outcomes provides actionable information to enhance patient care and to improve outcomes.
