Cardiac Surgery and Blood-Saving Techniques: An Update.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Cardiac surgery is typically attributed with a significant risk of intraoperative blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusions. Intraoperative blood loss, allogenic blood transfusions, high dose anticoagulation requirement, and interactions with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have all been linked to cardiac surgeries. To reduce unnecessary transfusions and their negative effects, it is recommended to follow evidence-based multidisciplinary strategies, which are collectively termed patient blood management (PBM). This review highlights the most recent blood conservation strategies in adult cardiac surgery, which can be employed pre-operatively, intra-operatively, and postoperatively, to enhance red cell mass and attenuate the utilization of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) and other blood products.
