1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

IntroductionBlood transfusions during paediatric cardiac surgery with (cardiopulmonary bypass) CPB carry increased risks, including infection and immunological complications. This study evaluates blood product use in the Clinic for Paediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery at the Children's University Hospital following the implementation of a revised blood management protocol from 2020 to 2023.MethodsA retrospective review of 135 paediatric patients who underwent congenital cardiac surgery with CPB was conducted. Patients were categorized into three age groups: Group 1 (<1 year), Group 2 (1 - 4 years), and Group 3 (>4 years). Data on erythrocyte, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate, and platelet use were analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman's rho tests, with significance set at
