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

We aimed to analyze the use of blood products in cardiac surgery and to investigate its effect on clinical outcomes. Perioperative transfusion requirement, survival and complication rates and the duration of hospitalization were noted. Patients were divided into two groups considering the duration of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. The cardiopulmonary bypass time and the cross clamp time, and the amount of used cryoprecipitate, fresh frozen plasma, platelet, red blood cell and the bleeding amount were significantly higher in groups that stayed at the hospital for > 7 days and at the ICU for > 2 days (
