Five-Year Mortality among Survivors of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Retrospective Study from a Tertiary Center.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundLong-term outcome data following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery in Brazil remain limited, yet are essential for informing public health policies and guiding clinical practice.
objectivesTo estimate five-year all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates in patients undergoing CABG and to identify associated risk factors.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 6,933 patients who underwent CABG at the Heart Institute, Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo, between 2007 and 2018. Mortality data up to 2018 were retrieved from government databases. A significance level of 5% was adopted.
resultsThe study cohort included 4,854 men (72%) with a median age of 63 years (IQR: 57-70). Diabetes mellitus was present in 2,984 patients (43%), and 1,918 (29%) had chronic kidney disease. During follow-up, 1,075 deaths occurred, of which 506 (47.1%) were attributed to cardiovascular causes. The 5-year all-cause mortality rate was 12.9% (95% CI: 11.9-13.9), and the cardiovascular mortality rate was 5.7% (95% CI: 5.1-6.4). The leading cause of cardiovascular death was ischemic heart disease (290 deaths, 57.3%), followed by cerebrovascular disease (84 deaths, 16.6%). Factors significantly associated with all-cause mortality included older age, diabetes mellitus, glomerular filtration rate, HDL-cholesterol, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial and left ventricular diastolic dimensions, urgent hospitalization, on-pump surgery, and length of hospital stay.
conclusionPatients undergoing CABG at a tertiary care center exhibited moderate 5-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortality rates. These findings highlight key prognostic factors that may support risk stratification and guide postoperative management strategies.
