Comparison of Thromboelastography and Conventional Coagulation Tests in Patients With Severe Liver Disease.
Article in Clinical and applied thrombosis/hemostasis : official journal of the International Academy of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveThromboelastography (TEG) may provide rapid and clinically important coagulation information in acutely ill patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Our objective was to describe the relationship between TEG and conventional coagulation tests (CCTs), which has not been previously explored in this population.
methodsIn acutely ill patients with severe CLD (Child-Pugh score > 9, category C), we conducted a prospective observational study investigating coagulation assessment as measured by both CCTs and TEG. We used quantile regression to explore 30 associations between TEG parameters and corresponding CCTs. We compared TEG and CCT measures of coagulation initiation, clot formation, clot strength, and fibrinolysis.
resultsWe studied 34 patients on a total of 109 occasions. We observed inconsistent associations between TEG and CCT measures of coagulation initiation: TEG (citrated kaolin [CK] assay) standard reaction time and international normalized ratio:
conclusionsIn acutely ill patients with CLD, there are strong and consistent associations between TEG measures of clot formation and clot strength and conventional fibrinogen levels. There are weak and/or inconsistent associations between TEG and all other conventional measures of coagulation.
