Clinical Utility of Autologous Salvaged Blood: a Review.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionAutologous salvaged blood, commonly referred to as "cell saver" or "cell salvage" blood, is an important method of blood conservation. Understanding the mechanism of action and summarizing the existing evidence regarding the safety, efficiency, and the relative costs of cell salvage may help educate clinicians on how and when to best utilize autotransfusion.
methodsThis review focuses on issues concerning the quality of red blood cells (RBC), efficiency, and the cost effectiveness relative to autotransfusion. The key considerations of safe use and clinical applicability are described along with the challenges for wider dissemination.
resultsCell salvage can reduce requirements for allogeneic transfusions, along with the associated risks and costs. Autologous salvaged RBCs provide high-quality transfusion, since the cells have not been subjected to the adverse effects of storage as occurs with banked blood. The risks for RBC alloimmunization and transfusion-related infectious diseases are also avoided. With a careful selection of cases, salvaged blood can be more cost effective than donor blood. Cell salvage may have a role in cardiac, major vascular, orthopedic, transplant, and trauma surgeries. However, there remain theoretical safety concerns in cases with bacterial contamination or in cancer surgery.
conclusionIn addition to other methods of blood conservation used in patient blood management programs, autologous salvaged blood adds value and is cost effective for appropriate surgical cases. Evidence suggests that autologous salvaged blood may be of higher quality and confer a cost reduction compared with the allogeneic banked blood, when used appropriately.
