Current trends in selection of conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting.
Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The procedure of coronary artery bypass grafting continues to be the "gold standard" for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and left main stenosis due to favourable long-term and consistent outcomes despite the advent of new generations of stents. But the targeted better long-term outcome of surgical revascularization over percutaneous interventions depends on several variables and aspects; one of them is the choice of conduits used to bypass the stenosed arteries. Coronary artery bypass surgery has been studied and debated for decades and the same applies to the selection of grafts. Current data provide significant benefits for patients who receive full arterial revascularization using both internal thoracic arteries and, if applicable, the radial artery. Unfortunately, the use of multiple arterial grafts is still not performed widely despite the evidence of superiority over multiple saphenous vein grafts that are still the most used grafts in cardiovascular procedures. In this review article, we present current trends and evidences for graft selection and give an overview of controversial data regarding the comparison of the radial artery and saphenous vein. Additionally, few words are spelt on alternative conduits.
