Article in Kardiochirurgia i torakochirurgia polska = Polish journal of cardio-thoracic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionMonitoring postoperative drainage is a key aspect of patient assessment in the early postoperative period. Accurate assessment of drainage allows rapid diagnosis of postoperative bleeding, preventing excessive hemoglobin drop and cardiac tamponade. However, traditional methods of mediastinal drainage appear to be inaccurate and measurement can often be subjective, delaying the procedure.
aimTo demonstrate our initial experience with a digital chest drainage system that can be used to closely monitor postoperative drainage. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe Thopaz
resultsWe did not observe any complications with the system and the learning curve of the staff was very fast, both for the physicians and the operating room nurses, intensive care nurses and postoperative nurses.
