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

introductionAlthough von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a common inherited bleeding disorder, very few cases of surgery in patients with VWD have been reported. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 77-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on type C chronic hepatitis. He had also been treated for VWD in the hematology department of another hospital. Partial hepatectomy was performed with the administration of factor VIII/von Willebrand factor concentrate just before and after the operation. The perioperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 12 days after surgery. DISCUSSION: VWD causes dysfunction of the platelet and destabilization of the blood clotting factor VIII. The patient was successfully treated with measurement of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) as an index for the management of hemostasis.

conclusionThis report describes a rare case of a successful perioperative management of hepatectomy in a patient with VWD.
