Impact of avoiding cardioplegic arrest on clinical outcome in patients undergoing CABG in Bangladesh: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesOver the last decade, the practice of surgical revascularization for the coronary artery disease has been popularized in Bangladesh. Our aim was to compare the outcome of non-cardioplegic versus cardioplegic coronary artery bypass surgery in terms of early postoperative outcomes.
methodsA literature search was conducted in March 2020 on Medline (via PubMed), Scopus and Bangladesh Journal Online electronic databases according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. All randomized controlled trials and observational studies reporting findings of coronary revascularization surgery comparing the outcomes were included.
resultsFifteen studies were used quantitatively that included a total cohort of 4750 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients in Bangladesh. After the meta-analysis, we observed a longer duration of operating time [mean difference (MD): - 52.30, confidence interval (CI): - 67.73 to - 36.86,
conclusionNon-cardioplegic CABG may be a viable alternative to cardioplegic CABG in Bangladeshi population, providing similar postoperative outcomes but offering additional advantage of shorter operation and ventilation times.
