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

backgroundFibrinogen concentrate treatment can improve coagulation during massive traumatic bleeding. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine whether fibrinogen concentrate, or a combination of factor XIII and fibrinogen concentrates, could reverse a haemodilution-induced coagulopathy during hypothermia.

methodsCitrated venous blood from 10 healthy volunteers was diluted in vitro by 33% with 130/0.42 hydroxyethyl starch (HES) or Ringer's acetate (RAc). The effects of fibrinogen concentrate corresponding to 4 gram per 70 kg, or a combination of the same dose of fibrinogen with factor XIII (20 IU per kg), were measured using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). The blood was analysed at 33°C or 37°C with ROTEM EXTEM and FIBTEM reagents. Clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle (AA) and maximal clot formation (MCF) were recorded.

resultsFibrinogen with or without factor XIII improved all ROTEM parameters in either solution irrespective of temperature, with the exception of EXTEM-AA and EXTEM-CFT in HES haemodilution. Fibrinogen increased FIBTEM-MCF more in the samples diluted with RAc than HES, particularly in presence of factor XIII.

conclusionsFibrinogen improved in vitro haemodilution-induced coagulopathy at both 33°C and 37°C, though more efficiently after crystalloid than HES haemodilution. Factor XIII had an additional effect on FIBTEM-MCF, but only after crystalloid dilution.
