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: Sternal dehiscence remains a significant complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), particularly in high-risk patients. Evidence comparing rigid plate fixation with conventional wire cerclage is limited. Aim: To compare clinical outcomes and perioperative resource utilization between rigid plate fixation and wire cerclage for sternal closure after CABG. Material and methods: This retrospective single-center cohort study included 118 patients undergoing CABG (plate fixation Results: Plate fixation was associated with significantly lower sternal dehiscence (3.4% vs. 11.6%; Conclusions: Rigid plate fixation is associated with improved sternal stability and reduced morbidity, particularly among high-risk CABG patients.
