[Transfusion strategy for patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage: a retrospective study of 47 cases].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPostpartum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. It requires a multidisciplinary approach. Transfusion strategy is essential, playing a key role in maternal prognosis. This study aims to determine FFP/RBC ratio (plasma frais congelé/concentrés de globules rouges; fresh frozen plasma/red blood cells) during the treatment of serious postpartum haemorrhages.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study at a Maternity Referral Center (level III) in eastern Tunisia over a period of 4 years (2009-2012). All parturients admitted due to severe postpartum bleeding requiring transfusion of more than 4 Units of RBC during the first 3 hours or of more than 10 Units of RBC during the first 24 hours of treatment were included in the study.
results47 parturients were enrolled in our study. The diagnosis of PPH was made on the basis of vaginal bleeding in 28 cases and following cesarean section in 19 cases. Preoperative hemoglobin level was of 6.3 g/dl. Transfusion ratio (FFP/RBC) was 1/0.7.
conclusionDuring tratment transfusion ratio was greater than that indicated in the existing guidelines stating an early and massive administration of FFP with a FFP/RBC ratio ranging between 1/2 and 1/1. Fibrinogen (Fbg) and tranexamic acid should be administered as early as possible. The use of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) should remain the ultimate treatment option.
