Perioperative Cardiovascular Outcomes and Risk Assessment in Older Adults for Noncardiac Surgery.
Article in Current anesthesiology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose of Review: Older adults age >65 years are the fastest growing segment of the United States population, and many undergo non-cardiac surgery each year. Despite the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in this population, data to guide perioperative care in older adults are limited. This review summarizes the literature on cardiovascular outcomes associated with noncardiac surgery in older adults, identifies unique clinical factors to consider in geriatric cohorts, and highlights clinical practice guidelines relevant to perioperative management of older adults. Recent Findings: Cardiovascular complications of noncardiac surgery are most common in older adults. Current cardiovascular risk calculators may significantly underestimate preoperative cardiovascular risk in these patients. Frailty assessments and novel risk calculators can improve risk stratification in older adults. Clinical factors, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, vascular stiffness, and aortic stenosis are key pathologies that may impact surgical outcomes. Pre-operative diagnostic cardiovascular testing may be helpful to identify cardiovascular disease in select patients, but routine testing is not generally recommended. Summary: Older adults have worse perioperative cardiovascular outcomes than younger individuals. Providers should consider clinical factors beyond those captured in traditional risk perioperative calculators to guide clinical decision making prior to noncardiac surgery.
