Nationwide outcomes of cardiovascular surgery in patients with Parkinson disease.
Article in JTCVS open, 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: Notably, movement disorders like Parkinson disease (PD) are not currently included in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk stratification models. This study aimed to provide large-scale contemporary data describing cardiovascular surgery outcomes in patients with PD. Methods: Between 2016 and 2019, the Nationwide Inpatient Sample included 1,051,725 discharges for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve, aortic, or other cardiovascular surgery. Among these were 4675 patients (0.44%) with a diagnostic code for PD. Balancing-score matching and logistic regression were used to evaluate the influence of PD on cardiovascular surgery outcomes. Results: Patients with PD were more often male, white, age >65 years, and on Medicare and were more likely to undergo CABG. Among balancing score-matched pairs, patients with PD had similar in-hospital mortality (2.3% vs 2.4%; Conclusions: Cardiovascular surgery can be performed safely on patients with PD with no increased hospital mortality, but these procedures are associated with more frequent complications, more frequent nonhome discharges, longer hospital length of stay, and higher costs. Surgeons may consider involving neurologic disorder experts to optimize the care of this vulnerable population.
