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
The purpose of this study was to quantify the peri-operative blood loss of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated by unreamed proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) and analyze whether the substantial hidden blood loss was induced by initial trauma or the operation. The clinical data of 123 patients with intertrochanteric fracture treated with unreamed PFNA from Jan 2013 to Apr 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Blood routine on admission day (ADM), pre-operative day one (PRE), post-operative days one and three (POD1 and POD3) and the visible blood loss (VBL) were obtained. The total blood loss (TBL) from ADM to POD1 and POD3 were 693.5 ± 359.6 ml and 863.8 ± 429.9 ml, of which the corresponding hidden blood loss (HBL) was 86.8% and 89.4% respectively. The mean TBL and HBL from ADM to PRE (375.5 ± 242.0 ml, 375.5 ± 242.0 ml) were higher than that from PRE to POD1 (318.0 ± 183.4 ml, 226.5 ± 163.2 ml), p < 0.001 respectively. There was no significant difference between HBL from ADM to PRE and HBL from PRE to POD3 (375.5 ± 242.0 ml, 396.7 ± 254.0 ml, p = 0.361). The majority of peri-operative HBL occurred before surgery, it was mainly associated with the initial trauma rather than the operation.
