The negative effect of perioperative red blood cell transfusion on morbidity and mortality after major abdominal operations.
Article in American journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aims to test associations between perioperative blood transfusion and postoperative morbidity and mortality after major abdominal operations.
methodsThe 2014 ACS NSQIP dataset was queried for all patients who underwent one of the ten major abdominal operations. Separate multivariable regression models, were developed to evaluate the independent effects of perioperative blood transfusion on morbidity and mortality.
resultsOf 48,854 patients in the study cohort, 4887 (10%) received a blood transfusion. Rates of transfusion ranged from 4% for laparoscopic gastrointestinal resection to 58% for open AAA. After adjusting for significant effects of NSQIP-estimated probabilities, transfusion was independently associated with morbidity and mortality after open AAA repair (OR = 1.99/14.4 respectively, p ≤ 0.010), esophagectomy (OR = 2.80/3.0, p < 0.001), pancreatectomy (OR = 1.88/3.01, p < 0.001), hepatectomy (OR = 2.82/5.78, p < 0.001), colectomy (OR = 2.15/3.17, p < 0.001), small bowel resection (OR = 2.81/3.83, p ≤ 0.004), and laparoscopic gastrointestinal operations (OR = 2.73/4.05, p < 0.001).
conclusionsPerioperative blood transfusion is independently associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality after most major abdominal operations.
