Triangular posterior pericardiectomy and postoperative outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting.

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
Introduction: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and pericardial effusion remain common complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: Posterior pericardiotomy has been proposed to reduce these events, but long-term data remain limited. We evaluated the impact of triangular posterior pericardiectomy (TPP) on early and 12-month outcomes after CABG using unsupervised taxonomic analysis of postoperative responses. This retrospective study included 489 patients undergoing CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass between 2017 and 2023. Patients underwent standard surgery (no pericardiectomy, Results: Four phenotypes were identified. Phenotype 4 ( Discussion: Unsupervised phenotypic analysis suggests triangular posterior pericardiectomy is associated with a favorable postoperative profile characterized by reduced inflammation, minimal pericardial effusion, lower drainage, and absence of early and late atrial fibrillation after CABG.
