The role of intraoperative cell salvage system on blood management in major orthopedic surgeries: a cost-benefit analysis.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
introductionThe aim of this study was to compare the efficiency and cost of cell salvage systems with allogeneic blood transfusions in patients who had major elective orthopedic surgeries. MATERIALS AND
methodsConsecutive 108 patients who had intraoperative cell saver (CS) performed routinely constitute the study group. In control group, consecutive 112 patients who were operated without intraoperative CS were investigated. Hemoglobin (Hb) level less than 8 mg/dL was regarded as the absolute transfusion indication. The patients were evaluated for age, gender, body mass index, operation period, mean intraoperative estimated blood loss (EBL), postoperative hemovac drainage volume; preoperative, postoperative first day and discharge Hb levels, allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) volume, hospitalization and cost parameters.
resultsThe mean intraoperative EBL was 507 mL in the study group and 576 mL in control group. The mean ABT was 300 mL in the study group and 715 mL in control group. In the study group, intraoperative EBL, ABT usage and hospitalization period were significantly lower compared with the control group (p = 0.009, p = 0.000 and p = 0.000; p < 0.05, respectively). The mean cost was 771 Turkish liras (TL) in the study group and 224 TL in control group. In the study group, the cost was significantly higher than the control group (p = 0.000). The postoperative first day Hb level was significantly higher in the study group (p = 0.010).
conclusionAlthough CS usage was determined to increase the costs in this study, it significantly decreases intraoperative and postoperative ABT requirements. We believe that the increase in cost may be neglected when the complications and prolonged hospitalization due to ABT usage were regarded.
