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

objectivesThe impact of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cerebral revascularization versus CABG alone on perioperative complications and short-term outcomes remains controversial in patients with simultaneous coronary and cerebrovascular disease. Our study was specifically designed to evaluate the effects of simultaneous cardio-cerebrovascular revascularization versus isolated off-pump CABG (OPCABG) in patients with severe carotid stenosis.

methodsThis retrospective analysis included patients undergoing OPCABG between May 2023 and May 2025. Participants were divided into two groups based on simultaneous carotid revascularization status, including the combined cardio-cerebrovascular revascularization group (n = 57) and the isolated OPCABG control group (n = 60). The primary endpoints comprised 30-day mortality and all-cause mortality during follow-up. Cardiac, hepatic, and renal function biomarkers were monitored daily for three consecutive postoperative days. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated the survival probability of patients undergoing different surgical procedures throughout the follow-up period.

resultsOur study with a median follow-up of 11.5 months (IQR: 6.8-20.0 months) observed a lower short-term mortality rate of 5.3% (3/57) in the combined cardio-cerebrovascular revascularization group. Our results demonstrated no significant differences in 30-day mortality and all-cause mortality during follow-up between the combined cardio-cerebrovascular intervention and isolated OPCABG. No intergroup differences were observed in cardiac, hepatic, or renal function within the first three postoperative days. The combined surgical approach reduced hospitalization duration.

conclusionOur findings demonstrated comparable short-term outcomes between patients receiving simultaneous cardio-cerebrovascular revascularization and those undergoing isolated CABG. This simultaneous intervention represents a clinically meaningful advancement in managing systemic vasculopathy.
