Blood utilization in patients with burn injury and association with clinical outcomes (CME).
Article in Transfusion, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundUncontrolled bleeding is an important cause of increased transfusion in burn victims; however, description of blood utilization patterns in the burn population is lacking. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsWe conducted a single-institution, retrospective cohort study to measure blood utilization in 89 consecutive burn patients with 15% to 65% total body surface area (TBSA) burn within 60 days of injury. We also evaluated the relationship of blood product utilization with clinical variables including anticoagulant usage and mortality.
resultsWe determined that: 1) the predictors for increased red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma transfusions were high TBSA burn and the use of argatroban anticoagulation (for suspected heparin-induced thrombocytopenia [HIT]); 2) TBSA burn and patient age were independent predictors of mortality, but not RBC or plasma transfusion; and 3) the incidence of symptomatic venous thromboembolic events is not uncommon (11.2%), although HIT is rare (1.1%).
conclusionDespite concerns about adverse correlation between increased number of transfusions and mortality in other clinical settings, we did not find this association in our study. However, we demonstrated that the type and intensity of anticoagulation carries substantial risk for increased RBC as well as plasma usage.
