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

Despite several blood management strategies available, blood transfusion rates following total hip arthroplasty remain high. Therefore, this study evaluated transfusion rates following bilateral hip arthroplasty via direct anterior approach using a multimodal blood loss management approach for 213 consecutive patients. All patients received standard surgical and post-operative procedures, with allogenic transfusion performed if hemoglobin was less than 8.0 g/dL with persistent clinical symptoms. Thirty-two patients (15%) required transfusion, with those patients significantly older and had lower pre-operative hemoglobin compared to non-transfusion patients. This transfusion rate was much lower than previous literature and could be an appropriate, multimodal blood loss management strategy.
