Predictors of Quality of Life Improvement after 2 Years of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
Article in Annals of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery : official journal of the Association of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purposeThe aim was to examine the predictors of improvement of quality of life after 2 years of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
methodsIn all, 208 patients who underwent the elective CABG at the Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases Dedinje in Belgrade were contacted and examined 2 years after the surgery. All patients completed Nottingham Health Profile Questionnaire part one.
resultsTwo years after CABG, quality of life (QOL) in patients was significantly improved in all sections compared to preoperative period. Independent predictors of QOL improvement after 2 years of CABG were found to be serious angina under sections of physical mobility [p = 0.003, odds ratio (OR) = 1.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21-2.55], energy (p = 0.01, OR = 1.63, 95% CI: 1.11-2.38), sleep (p = 0.005, OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.16-2.35), pain (p <0.001, OR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.57-3.77), absence of hereditary load in energy section (p = 0.002, OR = 0.35, 95% CI: 0.18-0.68), male sex in the sleep section (p = 0.03, OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20-0.93), and absence of diabetes in pain section (p = 0.006, OR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.10-0.68).
conclusionPredictors of improvement of QOL after 2 years of CABG are serious angina, absence of hereditary load, male sex, and absence of diabetes.
