Association Between Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Support and Whole Blood Viscosity Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
Observational study in Artificial organs, 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
backgroundThe present study aimed to evaluate the association between intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support and whole blood viscosity (WBV) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
methodsIn this prospective observational study, 80 patients undergoing CPB were included. Of these, 40 patients received perioperative IABP support, while 40 patients served as the control group. Whole blood viscosity was measured preoperatively and postoperatively across a range of shear rates (0.6-60 s
resultsA decrease in whole blood viscosity was observed after CPB in both groups. Postoperative viscosity values were significantly lower in the IABP group at lower shear rates (0.6 s
conclusionsIABP support is independently associated with reduced whole blood viscosity at lower shear conditions following CPB. These findings may reflect alterations in hemorheological behavior and may have implications for microcirculatory flow and tissue perfusion.
