Impact of gender differences on hemostasis in patients after coronary artery bypass grafts surgeries in the context of tranexamic acid administration.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSex differences present in the blood management of patients after coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) surgeries. Tranexamic acid (TXA) performed well in maintaining hemostasis during and after surgeries. However, the impact of sex differences on blood control after CABG in patients who received TXA was not investigated.
methodsOverall, 29,536 patients undergoing CABG with TXA administration from 2009 to 2019 in our hospital were included. Propensity score matching was performed. Finally, 6808 males and 6808 females were matched based on 23 covariates.
resultsFemale patients had a 0.36-fold lower incidence of reoperations due to major hemorrhage or cardiac tamponade compared to males (1.3% vs. 2.0%, p = 0.001, OR = 0.64, 95%CI = 0.49-0.84). Females had a median of 100 ml less blood loss in 24 h (median 360 vs. 460 ml, p < 0.0001), 150 ml less in 48 h (median 580 vs. 730 ml, p < 0.0001), and 180 ml less in total (median 760 vs. 940 ml, p < 0.0001) than male patients. The red blood cell (RBC) transfusion rate in female was 1.53-fold higher than that in male (33.0% vs. 21.6%, OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.43-1.63, p < 0.0001). Females also had higher morbidities than males after CABGs.
conclusionsFemales had less blood loss than males after CABG with the TXA treatment. Females still had a higher RBC transfusion rate after surgery. Morbidities in women were also higher than that in men.
