Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundUpper gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in the course of liver cirrhosis. Patients with liver disease frequently have haemostatic abnormalities, which include accelerated fibrinolysis. Several primary treatments are used for upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver diseases. Supplementary interventions are often used as well. One of them could be antifibrinolytic amino acids administration.

objectivesTo assess the beneficial and harmful effects of antifibrinolytic amino acids for upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with acute or chronic liver disease plus acquired coagulation disorders. SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched The Cochrane Hepato-Biliary Group Controlled Trials Register (March 2006), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) in The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2006), MEDLINE (1950 to March 2006), EMBASE (1980 to March 2006), Science Citation Index EXPANDED (1945 to March 2006), LILACS (1982 to March 2006), ClinicalTrials.gov (at www.clinicaltrials.gov) (accessed August 2006), ISI Web of Science (April 2006), and the International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number Register (at http://controlled-trials.com/isrctn/search.asp) (accessed August 2006). We also checked the reference lists of all the trials identified by the above methods. SELECTION CRITERIA: We searched for randomised clinical trials irrespective of blinding, language, or publication status. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: We intended to summarise data by standard Cochrane Collaboration methodologies. MAIN

resultsWe could not find any randomised clinical trials with antifibrinolytic amino acids for upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with acute or chronic liver disease plus acquired coagulation disorders. AUTHORS'

conclusionsWe were unable to identify randomised clinical trials on the safety and efficacy of antifibrinolytic amino acids for upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver disease (acute or chronic) plus acquired coagulation disorders. The effects of antifibrinolytic amino acids has to be tested in randomised clinical trials.
