The Use of Whole Blood Transfusion in Trauma.
Review in Current anesthesiology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Purpose of Review: This review illustrates the current benefits, limitations, ongoing research, and future paths for Low Titer O Whole Blood compared to Component Therapy in massive transfusion for trauma patients. Recent Findings: Many studies show that compared to Component Therapy, Low Titer O Whole Blood transfusion is associated with better patient outcomes and simplified transfusion logistics among others. There are, however, issues with cost, supply/demand and handling of Whole Blood that limit its use, but experience in the military setting has shown that these limitations can be easily overcome. Summary: The use of Whole Blood has increased in the civilian trauma population and there is a growing body of evidence to support its current use. More research looking at Whole Blood in females of child-bearing age, pediatric populations, and cold-stored platelets is underway.
