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

Since 2013, rotational thromboelastometry has been available in our hospital to assess coagulopathy. The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate the effect of thromboelastometry testing in cardiac surgery patients. Altogether 177 patients from 2012 and 177 patients from 2014 were included. In 2014, the thromboelastometry testing was performed on 56 patients. The mean blood drainage volume decreased and the number of patients receiving platelets decreased between 2012 and 2014. In addition, the use of fresh frozen plasma units decreased, and the use of prothrombin complex concentrate increased in 2014. When studied separately, the patients with a thromboelastometry testing received platelets, fresh frozen plasma, fibrinogen and prothrombin complex concentrate more often, but smaller amounts of red blood cells. In conclusion, after implementing the thromboelastometry testing to the practice, the blood products were given more cautiously overall. The use of thromboelastometry testing was associated with increased possibility to receive coagulation product transfusions. However, it appears that thromboelastometry testing was mostly used to assist in management of major bleeding.
