[Patient Blood Management : three pillar strategy to improve outcome through avoidance of allogeneic blood products].
Review in Der Anaesthesist, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Blood transfusions are commonly viewed as life-saving interventions; however, current evidence shows that blood transfusions are associated with a significant increase of morbidity and mortality in a dose-dependent relationship. Not only explanatory models of basic research but also the results from randomized controlled trials suggest a causal relationship between blood transfusion and adverse outcome. Therefore, it can be claimed that the current state of science debunks the long held belief in the so-called life-saving blood transfusion by exposing the potential for promoting disease and death. Adherence to the precautionary principle and also the fact that blood transfusions are more costly than previously assumed require novel approaches in the treatment of anemia and bleeding. Patient Blood Management (PBM) allows transfusion rates to be dramatically reduced through correcting anemia by stimulating erythropoiesis, minimization of perioperative blood loss and harnessing and optimizing the physiological tolerance of anemia. A resolution of the World Health Assembly has endorsed PBM and therefore morbidity and mortality should be significantly reduced by lowering of the currently high blood utilization rate of allogeneic blood products in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
