Does Autologous Transfusion Decrease Allogeneic Transfusion in Liposuction Surgery of Lymphedema Patients?

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
Background and Objective: Liposuction is an effective treatment for fat disposition in lymphedema. Blood transfusion has been seldom investigated in lymphedema liposuction surgery. The purpose of the study was to analyze clinical factors associated with blood transfusion in liposuction surgery of lymphedema patients and compare the autologous and allogeneic transfusion patterns. Methods: A total of 1,187 cases of liposuction due to lymphedema were recruited. Demographic, laboratory tests and operation information were collected. Patients were divided into a transfusion and a non-transfusion group. Different transfusion patterns were compared and analyzed. Results: Between the two groups, there is a significant difference in postoperative hemoglobin levels, and as well as gender, age, surgery duration, body weight change, intraoperative transfusion volume and blood loss, hospital length of stay, and surgical site distribution. There is a significant difference in the comparison of hospital stay length, autologous transfusion volume, combined allogeneic volume, operative blood loss, intraoperative transfusion volume, and change in hemoglobin levels between predonation and acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) transfusion. In comparison with the allogeneic transfusion-only patients, the mean allogeneic transfusion volume in either ANH group, predonated transfusion group, or mixed group is statistically lower. Allogeneic transfusion volume in the predonated-only group is significantly lower than that of either the ANH-only group or the mixing ANH with predonation group. Ordinary least squares regression analysis suggests that autologous transfusion in the ANH-only mode is statistically associated with allogeneic transfusion. Conclusions: This study described the blood transfusion in lymphedema liposuction surgery and compared autologous and allogeneic transfusion patterns in these patients. Autologous transfusion can reduce the transfusion volume of allogeneic blood and might be a beneficial mode of transfusion in these patients.
