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.

Abstract

In patients with decompensated cirrhosis, procedure-related bleeding is a potentially lethal complication. Routine coagulation tests such as international normalized ratio and platelet count do not predict bleeding risk. We investigated whether thromboelastography (TEG) can identify patients with cirrhosis who are at risk of procedure-related bleeding. As a part of a prospective study on hemostasis in decompensated cirrhosis, patients had TEG performed on admission and were followed prospectively during hospitalization for the development of procedure-related bleeding. Eighty patients with cirrhosis were included. Among the 72 who had procedures performed, 7 had procedure-related bleeding, which was major in three cases (two following paracentesis and one following thoracentesis). Conventional coagulation tests were comparable between bleeding and nonbleeding patients, whereas TEG parameters of k-time (4.5 minutes vs. 2.2 minutes;
