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.

Abstract

Background/Aim: Bleeding risk among patients with acute or chronic liver disease after invasive procedures is a common concern in clinical practice. This retrospective study aimed to explore whether the presence of coagulopathy increased the risk of major bleeding after invasive procedures in cirrhosis. Patients and Methods: A total of 874 cirrhotic patients underwent invasive procedures. Coagulopathy was defined as international normalized ratio (INR) ≥1.5 and/or platelets (PLTs) ≤50 × 10 Results: In all, 296 patients (33.9%) had coagulopathy. Major bleeding after invasive procedures occurred in 21 patients (2.4%). Major bleeding after invasive procedures was more frequent in patients with coagulopathy than those without coagulopathy (4.1% vs 1.6%, P = 0.023). Major bleeding after invasive procedures was more frequent in patients with severe thrombocytopenia than those without severe thrombocytopenia (4.9% vs 1.6%, P = 0.008). Incidence of major bleeding after invasive procedures was not significantly different between patients with INR ≥ 1.5 and INR < 1.5 (4.5% vs 2.0%, P = 0.065). Patients with INR ≥1.5 had a significantly higher in-hospital mortality than those with INR < 1.5 (6.4% vs 1.3%, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Severe thrombocytopenia significantly increased the risk of major bleeding after invasive procedures in cirrhosis. INR ≥ 1.5 significantly increased in-hospital mortality.
