Major Pelvic Ring Injuries: Fewer Transfusions Without Deaths from Bleeding During the Last Decade.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPelvic fracture-associated bleeding can be difficult to control with historically high mortality rates. The impact of resuscitation advancements for trauma patients with unstable pelvic ring injuries is unknown. We hypothesized that the time elapsed since introduction of our protocol would be associated with decreased blood transfusion requirements.
methodsA level 1 trauma center's prospective pelvic fracture database was reviewed from 01/01/2009-31/12/2018. All patients with unstable pelvic ring injuries initially presenting to our institution were included. Adjusted regression analysis was performed on the overall cohort and separately for patients in traumatic shock (TS). The primary outcome was 24 h packed red blood cell (PRBC) requirements. Secondary outcomes were 24 h plasma, cryoprecipitate, platelet and intravenous fluid (IVF) requirements, length of stay and mortality.
resultsPatients with mechanically unstable pelvic ring injuries (n = 144, median [Q
conclusionsOver this 10-year period, there was no hemorrhage-related mortality among patients presenting with pelvic fractures. Crystalloid and transfusion requirements decreased for patients presenting with traumatic shock.
