Long-Term Survival and Mortality Predictors of Off-Pump vs On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A 25-Year Cohort Study.

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: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a key procedure for managing severe coronary artery disease, is performed by 2 primary surgical strategies: off-pump CABG and on-pump CABG. The long-term survival impact of off-pump CABG compared with on-pump CABG remains debated because of conflicting evidence. This study compared 25-year survival rates between off-pump CABG and on-pump CABG and identified key predictors of long-term mortality in CABG patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzed 13,626 patients who underwent isolated CABG from January 1996 to September 2023. Patients were divided into off-pump CABG (n = 7408) and on-pump CABG (n = 6218) groups. Propensity score matching minimized baseline differences, yielding a matched cohort of 11,368 patients (5684 per group). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare long-term survival between groups, and Cox proportional hazards regression identified independent predictors of mortality. Results: Off-pump CABG demonstrated superior 25-year survival (unmatched, 58.2% vs 42.2% [ Conclusions: Off-pump CABG is associated with superior long-term survival compared with on-pump CABG, with the survival gap widening over time. Identifying high-risk patients on the basis of demographic and comorbid factors can optimize surgical decision-making and guide revascularization strategies.
