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

Guidelines for the treatment of severe bleeding comprise viscoelastic-test-guided use of coagulation factor concentrates as part of their recommendations. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of substituting fibrinogen, prothrombin complex concentrate, and a combination of both on conventional coagulation tests, viscoelastic test results, and thrombin generation. Blood was drawn from seven healthy volunteers to obtain platelet-free plasma, which later was diluted by replacing 40%, 60%, 80%, 90%, 95%, and 99% with a crystalloid solution. The diluted samples were spiked with fibrinogen concentrate, prothrombin complex concentrate, a combination of both, or a corresponding amount of crystalloid solution. Up to a dilution level of 95%, viscoelastically determined clotting time was significantly shorter in the group substituted with fibrinogen only in comparison with the additional use of prothrombin complex concentrate. Clot firmness and endogenous thrombin potential remained at relatively stable values up to a dilution level of 95% with the substitution of fibrinogen but not prothrombin complex concentrate. Substitution of prothrombin complex concentrate led to an excessive overshoot of thrombin generation. The results of our study question currently propagated treatment algorithms for bleeding patients that include the use of prothrombin complex concentrate for patients without former intake of oral anticoagulants. Even in severely bleeding patients, thrombin generation might be sufficient to achieve adequate hemostasis.
