Autologous blood transfusion in acute type A aortic dissection decreased blood product consumption and improved postoperative outcomes.

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
Objective: To evaluate the effect of autologous blood use on blood product consumption and outcomes after acute type A aortic dissection repair. Methods: From 2010 to October 2020, 497 patients underwent open acute type A aortic dissection repair, including those with autologous blood harvesting before cardiopulmonary bypass and transfusion after cardiopulmonary bypass (autologous blood transfusion [ABT], n = 397) and without autologous blood harvesting and transfusion (No-ABT, n = 100). The median ABT volume was 900 mL. Using propensity score matching, 89 matched pairs were identified based on age, sex, body mass index, preoperative hemoglobin, acute preoperative stroke, previous cardiac surgery, and cardiogenic shock. Results: After propensity score matching, both groups were similar in demographic characteristics and aortic procedures. The ABT group required significantly less intraoperative transfusion of blood products (6 vs 11 units; Conclusions: Autologous blood transfusion was associated with better short-term outcomes and could be used routinely for acute type A aortic dissection repair. External multicenter prospective validation would be warranted.
