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

Jehovah's Witnesses undergoing liver or pancreas surgery represent a unique medical and ethical challenge. For hepatic and pancreatic malignancies, resections are currently the only curative treatment. These surgeries pose a risk for significant blood loss, for which blood transfusions are traditionally given. However, blood transfusions are considered unacceptable to many Jehovah's Witnesses patients. As the technology of surgery as well as development of new products continue to evolve, transfusion-less surgery modalities have been utilized for Jehovah's Witnesses. The use of these transfusion-less techniques is not yet standardized for hepatic and pancreatic resections. We aimed to review both oncology and transplant medical literature on pancreatic and hepatic resection to develop guidelines for the management Jehovah's Witnesses patients.
