Impact of timing for intra-aortic balloon pump insertion on patients undergoing mitral valve surgery.

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: This study aimed to investigate the timing of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery. Methods: A total of 136 patients who had undergone mitral valve surgery and IABP insertion under cardiopulmonary bypass at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital between June 2017 and June 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. The patients were divided into early and late IABP insertion groups based on the timing of the insertion. The primary endpoint of the observation was the survival rate of patients in both groups, while the secondary endpoints included the incidence of complications and the length of hospital stay. Results: Among the 136 patients enrolled, 55 were in the early insertion group and 81 in the late insertion group. There was no statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality between the two groups ( Conclusions: The timing of IABP insertion did not exhibit significant impacts on patients undergoing mitral valve surgery.
