Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury and Blood Product Transfusion After Synthetic Colloid Use During Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesThis study assessed the effect of 2 types of hydroxyethyl starches (HES) on renal integrity and blood transfusion in cardiac surgery patients.
designRetrospective investigation.
settingPatients from a single tertiary medical center.
participantsInclusion criteria included coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or valve surgery that included cardiopulmonary bypass with aortic cross-clamping.
interventionsIntraoperative HES and blood product administration. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsThe study comprised 1,265 patients who met inclusion criteria. Of these patients, 70% received HES, and of these, 47% received<1,000 mL and 53% received≥1,000 mL. There was no difference in the development of acute kidney injury between the 2 groups. A parsimonious propensity model for colloids showed that combined CABG and valve surgery were less likely to be associated with HES administration than was CABG alone (OR 0.68, confidence interval [CI] 0.46-0.97; p = 0.04). Intra-aortic balloon pump use was less likely to be associated with HES administration (OR 0.57, CI 0.38-0.86; p = 0.007). Patients with chronic kidney disease, stages 3 to 5, were less likely to receive HES, with an OR of 0.56 (CI 0.38-0.84; p = 0.004); 0.51 (CI 0.20-1.33; p = 0.170); and 0.23 (CI 0.12-0.44; p<0.0001), respectively, for each stage. No difference was noted in red blood cell transfusion. However, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, and platelet transfusions were significantly higher with larger volumes of HES, with an OR of 2.03 (CI 1.64-2.52; p<0.001); 1.60 (CI 1.30-1.97; p<0.000); and 1.62 (CI 1.21-2.15; p = 0.006), respectively. No differences in surgical mortality were found between the colloid and noncolloid groups.
conclusionsThis study showed no association of postoperative acute kidney injury and red blood cell transfusion between the colloid and noncolloid groups. Although the complication rate was higher with HES administration, there was no difference in surgery mortality between the 2 groups.
