Elective cardiac surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic: Proceed or postpone?
Review in Best practice & research. Clinical anaesthesiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
During this coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there is an international call to postpone all elective surgeries. Cardiac surgery carries a combined risk for cardiac patients, who are at risk for higher complications of COVID-19, and healthcare workers. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the American College of Surgeons and the American Society of Anesthesiologists recommended a sustained reduction in the rate of new COVID-19 cases for 14 days before the resumption of the elective surgery, but postponing surgery may impact patients' daily activities and increase the risk the of deterioration of their cardiac condition. We will discuss the risks and benefits of the decision whether to postpone or proceed with elective cardiac surgical procedures during the escalating COVID-19 pandemic considering the specific risk of the cardiac patients, the unique characteristics of the surgery, and the international health system capacity.
