Evaluation of effect of transfusion practices on infection risks in open heart surgery: Insights from a study at Amir-Al-Mominin Hospital in Golestan province, Iran, 2022.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular and thoracic research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is the standard treatment for obstructive coronary artery disease, particularly in patients with multi-vessel involvement or diabetes. Blood transfusions are often necessary during CABG, with rates ranging from 40% to 90%. We studied the multifactorial analysis of transfusion practices and infection risks in open heart surgery in Golestan Province, Iran. Methods: In the study we reviewed the medical records of 268 patients who underwent open heart surgery in 2022. Exclusion criteria included known immunodeficiency conditions, immunosuppressive drug use, and incomplete records. Data on risk factors (age, gender, diabetes, BMI, smoking) and laboratory results (CRP, WBC, blood cultures) were collected. Results: Out of 268 patients, 210 were analyzed (125 men, 85 women). The average ages were 57.7±9.8 for men and 58.6±9.3 for women ( Conclusion: The prevalence of positive blood cultures, particularly among diabetic patients, emphasizes the importance of vigilant monitoring and management of this population to mitigate infection risks.
