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: Operating room extubation (ORE) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has proven benefit. However, predicting which patients should undergo ORE is difficult. We hypothesized that The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk scores could be used as a predictive tool for ORE. Methods: Between January 1, 2023 and November 30, 2025, the STS risk scores of 687 consecutive patients who underwent on-pump CABG were calculated. Risk scores for death (in-hospital or 30-day mortality), stroke (cerebrovascular accident), acute kidney injury (AKI), reoperation, prolonged ventilation, deep sternal wound infection, prolonged length of stay, and blood transfusions were used to generate the predictive model for ORE. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine which STS scores were independent predictors of ORE. A composite score, along with a receiver operating characteristic curve with area under the curve, were also generated. Results: Among the 687 patients, 289 (42%) underwent ORE, and 1 of 289 (0.3%) required reintubation. Multivariate analysis determined that the risk of prolonged ventilation <3% (odds ratio [OR], 1.62; Conclusions: ORE is safe in selected patients undergoing CABG, particularly if ORE is practiced with high frequency and in patients with an STS calculator risk of prolonged ventilation <3%, in-hospital or 30-day mortality <0.5%, and AKI <2%.
