The impact of systemic inflammation index on prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery: a retrospective study.
Observational study in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundDespite advancements in surgical techniques and intensive care management, the incidence of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) following cardiac surgery remains a significant concern.
objectivesInvestigate the relationship between the Systemic Inflammation Index (SII) and the occurrence of PMV, as well as the medium-term prognostic outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
methodsThis retrospective observational study was conducted at Nanjing First Hospital, including data from adult patients who underwent CPB for cardiac surgery between January 2020 and December 2020. PMV was defined as mechanical ventilation lasting more than 24 h post-surgery. Clinical characteristics, including demographic data and preoperative biomarkers, were collected. Statistical analyses included univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify predictors of PMV.
resultsA total of 1128 patients were included in the final analysis. Higher SII levels were associated with an increased likelihood of PMV and longer hospital stays. Multivariate logistic regression identified several independent predictors of PMV, including age, female gender, chronic lung disease, preoperative SII, and intraoperative plasma infusion. The risk of PMV increased by 7% for every 100-unit increase in SII. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that patients with PMV had higher mid-term mortality rates, and those with elevated preoperative SII levels exhibited lower survival rates.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that elevated preoperative SII is a significant predictor of PMV following cardiac surgery. Identifying patients at risk for PMV can aid in developing individualized treatment strategies and improving postoperative outcomes.
