Effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution as a priming fluid for cardiopulmonary bypass: a propensity score matching study.
Article in Journal of cardiothoracic 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of sodium bicarbonate Ringer’s solution(BRS) as a priming fluid for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
methodsA total of 159 patients undergoing CPB cardiac surgery at Gaozhou People’s Hospital between August 2020 and August 2021 were enrolled. Participants were assigned to receive either sodium bicarbonate Ringer’s solution (designated as the BRS group) or lactated Ringer’s solution (designated as the control group). Blood gas variables were monitored at predetermined intervals: pre-surgery (T1), 30 min after CPB initiation (T2), upon CPB completion (T3), 6 h post-surgery (T4), and 24 h post-surgery (T5). To ensure comparability between groups, clinical variables were balanced using propensity score matching (PSM).
resultsFollowing PSM, the BRS group had significantly lower blood calcium levels (P < 0.001) at T2. By T3, the BRS group also presented lower standard bicarbonate, extracellular base excess and blood calcium levels, alongside significantly higher hematocrit levels compared to controls (all P < 0.05). At T5, the BRS group continued to show decreased levels of blood sodium and calcium (both P < 0.05).
conclusionBRS was associated with better maintenance of acid-base balance and electrolyte stability compared to lactated Ringer’s solution, suggesting it is a favorable priming option for CPB.
