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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of blood transfusion in patients with diabetes mellitus undergoing isolated on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

methodsThe medical records of a total of 1,912 patients (1,300 males, 612 females; mean age 60.7±10.0) with diabetes who underwent isolated on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting between January 1999 and June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as patients with and without blood transfusions. The mortality rates were compared between the two groups.

resultsThe mortality rate was 14 times higher in the patients receiving blood transfusion (odds ratio: 14.80; 95% confidence interval 5.05 to 43.34; p<0.001). However, in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, there were no statistically significant difference in mortality between the patient groups, when diabetes mellitus was a covariate factor (Odds ratio: 8.34; 95% confidence interval 3.94 to 17.66 vs. odds ratio 8.36; 95% confidence interval 3.95 to 17.70).

conclusionThe propensity score-matched analysis of patients with diabetes showed that clinical outcomes were more severely affected by blood transfusion.
