Predictive role of cardiopulmonary bypass exposure indexed to body surface area on postoperative organ dysfunction: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Interdisciplinary cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 2024. 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
objectivesLong cardiopulmonary bypass times are associated with adverse postoperative outcomes and increased healthcare resource use. It is likely that this effect is pronounced in smaller patients. Previous studies have been criticized for not taking into consideration that prolonged bypass times are often due to higher complexity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between bypass index (bypass time/body surface area) and adverse postoperative events.
methodsSingle-centre, retrospective cohort study including 2413 patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass from June 2018 to April 2020. Length of hospital stay, as surrogate marker of postoperative morbidity, was selected as primary outcome. The strength of association between bypass index and the primary outcome was assessed with linear regression analysis. Secondary outcomes included new onset renal, pulmonary or cardiac rhythm dysfunction. The predictive value of bypass index was assessed with linear regression analysis; univariate and multiple regression were used to assess the strength of association between Bi and the secondary outcomes.
resultsBypass index was predictive for length of stay at univariate (Relative Risk (RR): 1.004, P < 0.001) and at multivariable (RR: 1.003, P < 0.001) analysis. The association between bypass index and new renal (mean difference: 14.1 min/m2, P < 0.001) and cardiac rhythm dysfunction (mean difference: 12.6 min/m2) was significant. This was not true of postoperative lung dysfunction (mean difference: -1.5 min/m2, P = 0.293).
conclusionsBypass index, calculated as total bypass time/patient body surface area, is predictive of postoperative morbidity and resource utilization after cardiac surgery on pump.
