Review: The Perioperative Use of Thromboelastography for Liver Transplant Patients.
Review in Transplantation proceedings, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Thromboelastography (TEG) is a viscoelastic test that allows rapid evaluation of clot formation and fibrinolysis from a sample of whole blood. TEG is increasingly utilized to guide blood product resuscitation in surgical patients and transfusions for liver transplant patients. Patients with severe liver failure have significant derangement of their clotting function due to impaired production of procoagulant and anticoagulant factors. Traditional coagulation studies are limited by the short time needed for the result and provide little information about the dynamics and strength of clot formation. In addition, traditional coagulation studies do not correlate well with bleeding episodes and may lead to over-transfusion of various blood products. Evidence is less robust regarding the use of TEG for transfusion management decisions in severe liver failure patients awaiting, undergoing, or immediately after liver transplant surgery. However, the available evidence suggests that systematic implementation of TEG rather than traditional coagulation studies results in the administration of fewer blood products without increased mortality or complications. The purpose of this study is to review the literature regarding the use of TEG in liver failure patients prior to liver transplant, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. Additional high-quality randomized controlled studies should be performed to evaluate the use of TEG to guide transfusion decisions, particularly in the postoperative period following liver transplantation.
