Predictors and outcomes of gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Turk gogus kalp damar cerrahisi dergisi, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: In this systematic review, we aimed to examine the risk factors and surgical outcomes of gastrointestinal complications using the meta-analysis techniques. Methods: Studies involving patients with and without gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery were electronically searched using the PubMed database, Cochrane Library and Scopus database, between January 2000 and May 2022. Some studies on gastrointestinal complications examined only single gastrointestinal complication (only intestinal ischemia, only gastrointestinal bleeding or only liver failure). Studies evaluating at least three different gastrointestinal complications were included in the meta-analysis to reduce the heterogeneity. Cohort series that did not compare outcomes of patients with and without gastrointestinal complications, studies conducted in a country"s health system databases, review articles, small case series (<10 patients) were excluded from the meta-analysis. Results: Twenty-five studies (8 prospective and 17 retrospective) with 116,105 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of gastrointestinal complications was 2.51%. Patients with gastrointestinal complications were older (mean difference [MD]=4.88 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.85-6.92]; p<0.001) and had longer cardiopulmonary bypass times (MD=17.7 [95% CI: 4.81-30.5]; p=0.007). In-hospital mortality occurred in 423 of 1,640 (25.8%) patients with gastrointestinal complications. In-hospital mortality was 11.8 times higher in patients with gastrointestinal complications (odds ratio [OR]=11.8 [95% CI: 9.5-14.8]; p<0.001). Conclusion: The development of gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery is more commonly seen in patients with comorbidities. In-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery is 11.8 times higher in patients with gastrointestinal complications than in patients without.
