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

introductionThis study designed to detect whether the routine haemoglobin (Hb) assay after uncomplicated caesarean section (CS) is necessary. MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred and twenty-two (122) women who delivered by uncomplicated elective CS were included in this observational study. Pre-operative investigations were performed according to the hospital protocol, including complete blood count, haemoglobin, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and liver and kidney function tests. After the uncomplicated elective CS, blood samples taken from participants immediately, 12, 24, 48 hours, and 1-week post-operative (PO) for haemoglobin assay. Student's

resultsThere was no significant difference between the pre-operative haemoglobin (11.6 ± 6.4 gms%), and the immediate PO haemoglobin (11.1 ± 5.9;

conclusionsRoutine PO haemoglobin assay after uncomplicated elective CSs is not necessary, especially when the pre-operative haemoglobin before the ECS ≥ 11 gms%, CS duration < 45 min, and estimated intra-operative blood loss ≤ 500 mL.
