[Bleeding and coagulation disorders in tonsillectomies].
Article in HNO, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 aim of our prospective analysis was to show the incidence of bleeding disorders among a tonsillectomy patient population and in case of bleeding disorders. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study comprised 92 consecutive patients who underwent tonsillectomies from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2007 at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Medical Center Mainz. In addition to gender, age, date of bleeding, Quick, aPTT and platelet count, the following blood values were determined: vWF:AG, vWF:RCo, vWF:RCo/vWF:AG, factor XIII, factor VIII:C, PFA 100™ ADP and PFA 100™ epinephrine (special coagulation analysis).
resultsTwelve of 92 patients (13%) showed evidence of coagulopathy. Four of these 12 patients had a postoperative hemorrhage. In eight patients a factor XIII deficiency was diagnosed, with two of them suffering a hemorrhage. In four patients, von Willebrand disease was diagnosed; two of them bled. No correlation between the presence of a coagulopathy and the bleeding rate could be determined.
conclusionRoutine preoperative performance of special coagulation analysis in all patients does not significantly contribute to the detection of increased postoperative hemorrhage risk.
