Sex Differences in Red Blood Cell Transfusions and 30-Day Mortality in Cardiac Surgery: A Single Center Observational Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In cardiac surgery, women have higher short-term mortality and a higher risk of receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions than men. This study's aim was to evaluate possible sex differences in RBC transfusions in cardiac surgery and their association with preoperative hemoglobin levels, body mass index, and 30-day mortality. A single-center retrospective study was conducted with 1583 patients (1181 men and 402 women) undergoing cardiac surgery. A total of 64.4% of the women and 33.0% of the men received an RBC transfusion. In a multivariable analysis, female sex was an independent predictor of RBC transfusion (OR 3.88, 95% CI 2.95-5.11,
