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
backgroundMassive transfusion (MT) is traditionally defined as transfusion of more than 10 units of red blood cells (RBCs) within the first 24 h after admission. The aim of this study is to analyze the trend of MT in regional trauma center including ratio of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and packed RBC.
methodsRetrospective data were driven from 2014 to 2016. A total of 185 patients who received more than 10 packed RBC units within the first 24 h after admission were included in the study. We analyzed transfusion requirements for each time interval 4 h and 24 h after admission. Moreover, we compared transfusion characteristics between survival and non-survival group, between high FFP: RBC group (≥1: 2) and low FFP: RBC group (<1: 2), and between the first half and latter half period.
resultsThere was a trend for improvement in the FFP: RBC ratio after applying the MT protocol. The FFP: RBC ratio increased from 1: 1.7 to 1: 1.4 within 24 h after arrival. The time to first transfusion was shortened (137-106 min). Mortality was lower in high FFP: RBC group than that of low FFP: RBC group.
conclusionIn our study, the MT protocol improved the FFP: RBC ratio. A higher FFP: RBC ratio also led to an improvement in the mortality rate in MT patients.
