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

Severe intraoperative bleeding may endanger the patient's life, necessitate additional human resources and increase perioperative costs. The aetiology of perioperative coagulopathy is complex and consists of depletion, consumption and dilution of clotting factors and thrombocytes. Cofactors like hypothermia, acidosis and severe anaemia may aggravate coagulopathy. Previously healthy patients often show hypofibrinogenaemia as the primary trigger of coagulopathy, whereas thrombocytopenia rather is a late event during massive bleeding. Early and differentiated diagnosis is essential for initiating targeted therapy. Evaluation of the clinical bleeding situation and coagulation tests, in particular point-of-care testing like thrombelastography, should be used to guide and control the therapeutic strategy. Fresh frozen plasma, concentrates of clotting factors, platelet concentrates and antifibrinolytic drugs are available for therapy of perioperative coagulopathy. To obtain optimal benefit for the patient, these products should be applied based on a therapeutic algorithm.
