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.
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
This study was conducted to determine the impact of thromboelastography (TEG) on blood transfusion policy regarding utilization and preparation of cryoprecipitate in adult cardiac surgery. The differences in total transfusion requirement, length of postoperative ICU stay and 24 h mortality were also studied after introduction of TEG in transfusion protocol. It was a retrospective, single-center, observational study conducted in adult patients underwent cardiac surgery from April 2008 to March 2016. Two thousand patients underwent surgery when TEG was used compared with 1000 control patients before availability of TEG. Significantly more patients in the TEG group versus the control group received cryoprecipitate (41 vs. 7%;
