1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Although thrombocytopenia is common in end-stage liver disease, severe, refractory thrombocytopenia during liver transplantation is rare, and if immune based, usually presents months or years later. This case describes an adult woman in whom preoperative evaluation had not determined an immune-related cause of thrombocytopenia. Clot strength was dramatically impaired as measured by thrombelastography during the transplant. Following a lack of response to repeat platelet transfusions, splenectomy was performed after graft reperfusion with rapid temporal restoration of clot strength. This case shows a severe manifestation of perioperative thrombocytopenia during liver transplantation and clinically guided management when measured clot strength is too low for accurate determination.
