Effects of blood transfusion, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and bypassed vessels on mortality following isolated and combined coronary artery bypass grafting.
Article in American journal of cardiovascular disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the correlation between the number of bypassed vessels, the duration of Cardiopulmonary bypass, blood transfusion requirements, revision rates, and mortality outcomes. The objective was to get insights into the potential challenges that may arise during the postoperative phase.
methodsOur study covered a total of 677 patients from January 2015 to January 2021. The study and analysis focused on many factors including the surgical procedure, the number of bypassed vessels, transfusion requirements, comorbidities, revision rates, the administration of blood thinners, and early mortality.
resultsMale patients numbered 513 and female patients 164. The combined coronary artery bypass grafting surgeries were 187, whereas the isolated ones were 490. Combination procedures traditionally used one- and two-vessel bypass grafting. 30.9% of patients had three vessels, while 31.6% had four. The typical blood transfusion has 4.2 erythrocytes. Fresh frozen plasma averaged 2.9 units, platelets 2.4 units, and whole fresh blood 2.6 units. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time was 145.1 and cross-clamp time was 89.3.
conclusionSix vessel bypasses have the highest revision rate. Transfusion rises with longer cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp periods. Using acetylsalicylic acid before surgery increases the need for fresh frozen plasma and platelets. However, warfarin sodium increases the need for fresh frozen plasma and increases mortality. The revision highly linked with total CPB, cross-clamp times, all blood transfusions, and mortality.
