Preoperative Anemia is Associated with Increased Intraoperative Mortality in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesWe sought to investigate the incidence of preoperative anemia in cardiac surgery and its association with outcomes.
methodsA retrospective review of clinical, laboratory, and transfusion data for all patients who underwent cardiac surgery at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital between 2008 and 2014 was performed. Patients were divided into two groups, anemic and non-anemic, with anemia defined as hemoglobin levels < 13 g/dL (males) and < 12 g/dL (females). Clinical variables were compared using chi-square and independent
resultsA total of 599 patients (69.9% males and 30.1% females) were included in the study; 69.3% underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. Preoperative anemia was found in 76.1% of females and 26.7% of male patients. Rates of intraoperative red blood cell transfusions were higher among anemic patients (75.9% vs. 52.3%,
conclusionsPreoperative anemia in cardiac surgery is independently associated with increased intraoperative mortality and early readmission rates post-surgery.
