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
introductionCarotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic stenosis reduces further stroke risk. Post-CEA haematoma increases the risk of complications including stroke. There are few studies considering protocols aimed at reducing post-CEA haematoma rates. Presented are the outcomes of a protocol developed to reduce this surgical complication.
methodThe protocol was implemented in 112 consecutive CEA. It involves stepwise additional measures to ensure haemostasis before wound closure. Attention to bleeding points is followed by light compression for 10 min. Protamine is then given if haemostasis has not been achieved. If after 20 min the problem persists Tranexamic acid is given. Following a further 20 min if haemostasis is not yet achieved a platelet transfusion is undertaken. Haematoma rates, return to theatre for post-operative haematoma and other complications were compared with 100 consecutive pre-protocol introduction CEA cases.
resultsOf 112 CEA patients, 19 received protamine, 8 protamine and tranexamic acid. One case required platelet transfusion. Neck haematoma rate fell from 10 to 3 cases (
conclusionThe stepwise haemostasis intraoperative protocol can reduce post-CEA haematoma rates.
