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

backgroundUncontrolled hemorrhage still remains a major cause of trauma-associated mortality. The events resulting in acute traumatic coagulopathy, particularly hypofibrinogenemia, make control of bleeding difficult. It is essential to timely predict, diagnose, and manage trauma-induced coagulopathy.

aimsThe aim of this study is to determine clinical and easily available laboratory variables that are predictive of hypofibrinogenemia in acute trauma patients. SETTINGS AND

designThis 2-year retrospective work examined the data of major trauma patients that were referred to Shahid Rajaee Hospital's emergency room in hemorrhagic shock condition. MATERIALS AND

methodsFibrinogen level was assessed for these patients on their arrival at our facility. Along with clinical and routine paraclinical variables, we evaluated the predictive value of these variables for a fibrinogen level below 100 mg/ml.

resultsA total of 855 cases were included (females: 16.4%; and males: 83.6%) in the study. The mean ± SD age was 36 ± 17.9 years, and the mean ± SD injury severity score was 12.2 ± 9. Motor vehicle accident was the most common cause of injury. Three factors, including arterial pH (cut off point = 7.34; area under the curve [AUC]: 0.59), base excess (cutoff point = -4.3; AUC: 0.60), and patients' gender had a significant association with the fibrinogen level under 100 mg/ml. When three factors of pH, BE, and patients' gender are being assessed simultaneously, the AUC became 0.62 (the predictive ability improved).

conclusionsVariables, including arterial pH, BE level, and patients' gender have predictive value for fibrinogen transfusion in trauma.
