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 long-term postoperative occlusion of venous or arterial grafts following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is a constant and unresolved problem, with a negative impact on clinical outcome. In our study, we aimed to find predictors that influence graft patency. The data of 202 patients who underwent CABG and had control coronary angiography on an average of 8.55 ± 4.56 years were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the presence of graft occlusion ascertained at control coronary angiography, patients were divided into two groups: 81 in the graft occlusion group (with 89 grafts degeneration: 64 saphenous vein [SVG] and 25 arterial graft) and 121 in the control group with patent grafts. The two groups were considerably well-matched regarding patient characteristics. Among medical conditions, peripheral artery disease has been found to be an independent predictor of increased graft occlusion, but only in SVG patients (OR 3.64, CI 1.21-11.03, p = 0.021). When evaluating medical therapy, significantly more patients were on nebivolol in the control group, compared to the graft occlusion group (p = 0.032). Moreover, nebivolol has been found to be an independent predictor of a lower degree of graft occlusion development (OR 0.36, CI 0.14-0.94, p = 0.036). Nebivolol has been found especially effective in preventing SVG graft occlusion (OR 0.24, CI 0.07-0.76, p = 0.015). Nebivolol has been found to reduce the frequency of graft occlusion following CABG, especially in case of SVG grafts. The vasodilatory properties of nebivolol may, at least in part, be responsible for the favorable effects of the drug to prevent graft occlusion.
