1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposePremature coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) failure has been linked to geometric, mechanical, and compositional discrepancies between host and graft tissues. Acute hemodynamic disturbances and the introduction of wall stress gradients trigger a myriad of mechanobiological processes at the anastomosis that can be associated with restenosis and graft failure. Although the origins of coronary artery disease dictate the anastomotic target, an opportunity exists for graft-vessel optimization through rationale graft selection.

methodsHere we explored the four distinct regions of the left (L) and right (R) ITA (1 = proximal, 2 = submuscular, 3 = middle, 4 = distal), and four common target vessels in the coronary circulation including the proximal and distal left anterior descending (PLAD & DLAD), right coronary (RCA), and left circumflex (LCX) arteries. Benchtop biaxial mechanical data was used to acquire constitutive model parameters of these tissues and enable vessel-specific computational models to elucidate the mechanical consequences of 32 unique graft-target combinations.

resultsSimulations revealed the maximum principal wall stresses for the PLAD, RCA, and LCX occurred when anastomosed with LITA

conclusionAlthough mechanical compatibility is just one of many factors determining bypass graft outcomes, our data suggests improvements can be made to the grafting process through vessel-specific regional optimization.
