Patient blood management for patients undergoing cardiac surgery in Middle Eastern countries: Multicenter survey.
Article in Saudi journal of anaesthesia. 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
Background: The purpose of this survey was to delineate and compare patient blood management (PBM) approaches in cardiac surgery across nine Middle Eastern countries while identifying the main challenges against the implementation of the PBM program in cardiac surgery as reported by the surveyed centers. Design: An online survey was established to assess current PBM practices in surveyed countries, including risk factors for bleeding or transfusion, management of preoperative anemia in elective cases, and antifibrinolytic use. Setting: This questionnaire was conducted among cardiac anesthesiologists in Middle Eastern countries in 2024. Participants: Only doctors participated voluntarily in this survey. Interventions: No intervention. Measurements: We assessed the extent of adoption of PBM practices in surveyed countries for patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Main Results: Of 40 survey responses, 26 (60%) were eligible for analysis. Most respondents were cardiac anesthesiologists. Key risk factors of bleeding or transfusion identified by over 70% of respondents included redo cardiac surgery, preoperative anemia, recent clopidogrel use, thrombocytopenia <100 × 10 Conclusion: PBM practices in Middle Eastern cardiac centers are heterogeneous, reflecting inconsistent adoption of guidelines. Enhanced training, institutional support, and homogenized national protocols are needed to standardize PBM in the region.
