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

Objective: Despite declining mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting, it is unclear if Black or female patients similarly benefit. We hypothesized differences in outcomes persist and disproportionately affect Black women. Methods: We examined patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting from July 2011 to July 2023 in a multicenter regional collaborative. Patients were stratified by race and sex: White men, White women, Black men, and Black women. Hierarchical logistic regression analyses were performed to identify trends and risk factors associated with operative mortality. Results: Among 27,309 patients, White men, White women, Black men, and Black women made up 66.1%, 19.2%, 9.3%, and 5.4% of the cohort, respectively. Their Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality was 0.83%, 1.55%, 1.11%, and 1.66%, respectively ( Conclusions: Differences persist with Black women having the highest risk-adjusted odds of mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting. Reinvigorated efforts are needed in an era of plateauing mortality rates.
