Gastrointestinal bleeding following pediatric cardiac bypass: An insight from the national inpatient sample.
Article in Annals of pediatric cardiology. 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
Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a rare but severe complication following pediatric cardiac bypass surgery. Despite advancements in pediatric cardiac surgery, postoperative complications like GI bleeding remain a critical concern. This study investigates its incidence, risk factors, and outcomes using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS). Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was conducted using the NIS database (2016-2020). Pediatric patients (0-18 years) undergoing cardiac bypass surgery were identified via International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) codes, with postoperative GI bleeding defined by ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. Weighted analyses accounted for the complex survey design, and multivariable logistic regression identified independent predictors. Results: Among 24,275 weighted cases, 110 (0.45%) experienced postoperative gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Significant predictors included cardiac surgery (OR = 5.7, 95% CI: 3.75-8.69, Conclusions: Postoperative GI bleeding is a life-threatening complication in pediatric cardiac bypass surgery. Identifying high-risk patients and optimizing perioperative management are crucial. Future research should focus on elucidating underlying mechanisms and developing targeted interventions to improve outcomes.
