Substitution of perioperative albumin deficiency disorders (SuperAdd) in adults undergoing vascular, abdominal, trauma, or orthopedic surgery: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03167645 (Does Perioperative Substitution of Albumin Deficiency Reduce Postoperative Complications?), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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

Abstract
backgroundHypalbuminemia is associated with numerous postoperative complications, so a perioperative albumin substitution is often considered. The objective of SuperAdd is to investigate whether substitution of human albumin, aiming to maintain a serum concentration > 30 g/l, can reduce postoperative complications in normovolemic surgical patients in comparison with standard care. METHODS/
designSuperAdd is a single-center, prospective, randomized, outcome-assessor blinded, patient blinded controlled trial. The primary outcome is the frequency of postoperative complications identified using the Postoperative Morbidity Survey graded ≥ 2 according to the Clavien-Dindo Score. Adult patients at risk to develop hypalbuminemia, i.e., ASA III or IV or high-risk surgery, are recruited after written informed consent was obtained. The albumin concentration is assessed before the induction of anesthesia and every 3 h until admission to the postanesthesia care unit. If albumin concentrations drop below 30 g/l, patients are randomly allocated to the control or the treatment group. The study intervention is a goal-directed human albumin substitution aimed at a concentration > 30 g/l during surgery and postanesthesia care unit stay. The patients in the control group are treated according to standard clinical care. Postoperative visits are to be performed on days 1, 3, 5, 8, and 15, as well as by telephone 6 months after surgery. DISCUSSION: SuperAdd is the first clinical trial in a surgical population investigating the effect of a goal-directed albumin substitution aiming at a serum level > 30 g/l. The nonrestrictive selection of patients guarantees that the patients without albumin screening will most likely not develop hypalbuminemia, thus ensuring generalizability of the study results.
