Comparison of the Effects of Blood Cardioplegia and Del Nido Cardioplegia on Postoperative Intensive Care Needs, Drainage, and Renal Functions in Patients Undergoing Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass.
Article in Brazilian journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveA variety of cardioplegia techniques with different components are implemented to ensure myocardial protection, in addition to keeping the operationa field immobile and free of blood during cardiac surgery. The implemented cardioplegia has unwanted negative effects on other end organs. In this study, our aim was to compare the effects of Del Nido cardioplegia and blood cardioplegia solutions on postoperative intensive care duration, drainage, and renal functions for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and bypass graft operations.
methodsSelections were made from patients undergoing elective bypass graft operations in our clinic from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. Patients were randomly selected, retrospectively assessed, and divided into two groups - De Nido group (Group 1) and blood cardioplegia group (Group 2). Comparisons were made between these groups in terms of intensive care duration, drainage, and renal functions.
resultsThe study included 120 patients. The Del Nido cardioplegia group included 60 patients, with 60 patients in the blood cardioplegia group. Comparisons between the groups found that the aortic cross-clamping duration was significantly high in Group 1 (P = 0.014). The noradrenaline dose given to Group 1 was high (P = 0.004). In terms of renal injury, significant degree of elevation was present in Group 1 (P = 0.027). The longer aortic cross-clamping duration in Group 1 may be assessed as a determinant factor for noradrenaline dose and acute kidney injury.
conclusionThis study concluded that it willbe appropriate to choose the cardioplegia method by performing broader meta-analysis studies and minimizing limiting factors.
