Effects of cardiopulmonary bypass on dialysis-dependent patients.
Article in Cardiovascular journal of Africa. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEnd-stage renal disease is considered an independent risk factor for early and late survival after coronary artery bypass grafting.
methodsWe retrospectively analysed patients with dialysis-dependent renal insufficiency who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery between 2010 and 2017. Patients who were operated with the assistance of cardiopulmonary bypass (ONCAB) were in group 1 and those operated with off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) were in group 2. We compared peri-operative morbidity and mortality rates and short-term results of the two groups.
resultsThere were 74 patients in group 1 and 36 in group 2. Blood transfusion requirement, drainage, need for intra-aortic balloon pump and duration of stay in intensive care unit was statistically significantly higher in group 1 (p < 0.05). Also, postoperative creatine kinase (CK) and creatine kinasemuscle/brain (CKMB) values were statistically significantly higher in group 1 (p = 0.003).
conclusionsCoronary artery bypass grafting under ONCAB was a potential risk for morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. Performing OPCAB surgery may improve postoperative outcomes and should be kept in mind as a surgical option.
