Association between intraoperative hypotension and myocardial injury after major open abdominal surgery.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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: Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) contributes to mortality after major open abdominal surgery. While intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is a proposed cause, its impact-defined using comprehensive thresholds-in this specific high-risk cohort remains underexplored. This study aimed to determine the association between the severity and duration of IOH and MINS. Methods: We assessed patients undergoing open abdominal surgery with invasive blood pressure monitoring in a single-center retrospective cohort study conducted between June 2016 and July 2019. The primary exposure, IOH, was defined using three absolute and three relative thresholds of mean arterial pressure (MAP), according to established literature and clinical consensus. The primary outcome was MINS (serum Troponin T (TnT) ≥ 0.03 ng/mL within 30 days after surgery). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to model the exposure-outcome relationship, adjusting for potential clinical confounders. Results: Of the 8,281 patients screened, 1,461 met the inclusion criteria. MINS occurred in 175 patients (12.0%). MAP below three absolute thresholds (≤65, ≤60, and ≤55 mmHg) and three thresholds relative to the preinduction MAP (decreases of >30, >40, and >50% from baseline) were independently associated with MINS. For MAP ≤60 mmHg, the odds of MINS increased with longer durations of hypotension, rising from 1.54 (95% CI 0.98-2.44) for 1-5 min to 3.81 (95% CI 2.20-6.61) for ≥21 min. At the longest duration, lower MAP thresholds were associated with higher risk (OR 3.66 for ≤65 mmHg; 3.81 for ≤60 mmHg; and 8.42 for ≤55 mmHg). Similar associations were observed for relative MAP reductions. Conclusion: In major open abdominal surgery patients, IOH, either based on absolute and relative thresholds, is independently and cumulatively associated with MINS. Associations based on absolute MAP thresholds appeared more consistent, whereas those based on relative reductions showed greater variability.
