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

objectivesColloid oncotic pressure (COP) is an important factor in cardiac surgery, owing to its role in haemodilution. The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass prime fluids on the COP is unknown. In this study, the effect of crystalloid and colloid prime fluids, with or without retrograde autologous priming (RAP), on the COP during elective cardiac surgery was evaluated.

methodsRandomized controlled trials and prospective clinical trials comparing crystalloid and colloid priming fluids or with RAP were selected. The primary outcome was the COP; secondary outcomes were fluid balance, fluid requirements, weight gain, blood loss, platelet count and transfusion requirements.

resultsFrom 1582 records, 29 eligible studies were identified. COPs were comparable between gelofusine and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) during bypass [mean difference (MD): 0.69; 95% confidence interval (CI): -2.05, 3.43; P = 0.621], after bypass (MD: -0.11; 95% CI: -2.54, 2.32; P = 0.930) and postoperative (MD: -0.61; 95% CI: -1.60, 0.38; P = 0.228). Fluid balance was lower with HES than with crystalloids. RAP reduced transfusion requirements compared with crystalloids. Blood loss was comparable between groups.

conclusionsCOPs did not differ between crystalloids and colloids. As a result of increased transcapillary fluid movement, fluid balance was lower with HES than with crystalloids. Haematocrit and transfusion requirements were comparable between groups. However, the latter was lower when RAP was applied to crystalloid priming compared with crystalloids alone. Finally, no differences in blood loss were observed between the groups.
