Are Blood Groups a Predictive Factor in Determining the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing Coronary Heart Surgery?
Article in Brazilian journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2026. 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
objectiveThis study investigated whether blood groups are predictive factors for the severity and postoperative mortality in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing bypass surgery with extracorporeal circulatory support.
methodsA retrospective cohort study examined data from 4,002 patients who had coronary surgery for CAD between January 1st, 2014, and December 30th, 2020. The study recorded blood groups, demographic information, and and SYNergy between percutaneous coronary intervention with TAXus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) scores for patients who died within the first month post-operation.
resultsMultiple regression analysis showed significant associations with the SYNTAX score (P < 0.001). Individuals with blood group O had a 2.970 times decrease in their SYNTAX score, while those with blood group A showed a 0.260 times increase, and those with blood group B had a 1.895 times decrease. Analyzing the effect of blood groups on mortality, the risk of death was significantly higher compared to blood group O; in group A the risk of death was 2.65 times higher than in group O (P = 0.005, odds ratio [OR]: 2.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.35 - 5.19). In group B the risk of death was 2.29 times higher than in group O (P = 0.048, OR: 2.29, 95% CI: 1.01 - 5.23). The Rh factor did not affect either mortality or CAD severity.
conclusionIn patients undergoing coronary surgery, the SYNTAX score was found to be significantly lower in blood groups O and B. However, regarding mortality, both blood groups A and B carried a higher risk of death when compared to group O.
