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

purposeTo establish which patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) need autologous blood storage and transfusion.

methodsAutologous blood was collected and stored for 69 patients scheduled to undergo PD, and not used in 50 patients. Based on the use of the deposited autologous blood and the estimated postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) level when blood was not deposited, we divided the patients into a "transfusion necessary" group and a "transfusion unnecessary" group. By comparing the two groups, we proposed a method of scoring to predict the necessity for storing autologous blood.

resultsThe "transfusion necessary" group comprised 6 patients (2 who received homologous blood transfusion and 4 with an estimated postoperative Hb of <8.0 g/dL) and the "transfusion unnecessary" group comprised 63 patients (24 whose autologous blood was discarded and 39 with an estimated Hb ≥8.0 g/dL). By analyzing the differences between the groups, including the preoperative hemoglobin level and the need for portal vein resection, we devised a scoring system to predict the necessity of collecting autologous blood. The scoring significantly correlated with the proportion of patients who did not require autologous blood storage and transfusion.

conclusionsNot all patients benefited from autologous blood storage and transfusion. Our scoring system proved useful for identifying which patients required autologous blood storage and transfusion during PD.
