1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHyperimmune response and cytokine release post-reperfusion might occur after orthotopic heart transplantation (HTx). Intraoperative hemoadsorption (HA) has been introduced to remove such elevated cytokines. We aimed to analyze the effect of intraoperative HA in patients undergoing orthotopic HTx.

methodsBetween 2018 and 2022, 40 consecutive orthotopic HTx patients who underwent intraoperative hemoadsorption HA integrated into the cardiopulmonary bypass were compared to 41 historical controls. Primary outcome measures included postoperative hemodynamic stability and blood product requirements, while secondary outcomes were the incidence of acute kidney injury requiring dialysis (AKI-d) and 30-day mortality.

resultsPostoperatively, the vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) did not significantly differ between the groups. However, the use duration for milrinone and dobutamine was shortened by one day compared to controls. The HA group had fewer red blood cell transfusions (765 vs. 1330 mL,

conclusionThese findings suggest that intraoperative HA might improve immediate postoperative outcomes; however, further validation in larger randomized controlled trials is warranted.
