Is ROTEM Diagnostic in Trauma Care Associated with Lower Mortality Rates in Bleeding Patients?-A Retrospective Analysis of 7461 Patients Derived from the TraumaRegister DGU
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionDeath from uncontrolled trauma haemorrhage and subsequent trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is potentially preventable. Point-of-care devices such as rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM
objectiveThe effect of ROTEM use was assessed on three different outcome variables: (i) administration of haemostatics, (ii) rate of RBC transfusions and (iii) mortality in severely injured patients. METHODS AND MATERIAL: A retrospective analysis of a large data set of severely injured patients collected into the TraumaRegister DGU
resultsA lower mortality rate in ROTEM-using groups was observed (
conclusionsIn this retrospective study, the use of ROTEM was associated with reduced mortality and an increased application of haemostatics and RBC transfusions. Prospective evidence is needed for further evidence-based recommendations.
