Visual estimation of blood loss versus quantitative blood loss for maternal outcomes related to obstetrical hemorrhage.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07712666 (SALVAGE Trial), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: This study was undertaken to evaluate if there are differences between visual estimation of blood loss (EBL) and quantitative blood loss (QBL) for maternal outcomes related to obstetrical hemorrhage. Methods: This retrospective study compared EBL (n = 500) to QBL (n = 501) for outcomes of length of stay, readmission within 30 days of discharge, percent receiving blood transfusions, time between delivery to receiving blood transfusion, and postpartum hemoglobin level. Results: The QBL group had a significantly lower mean length of stay than the EBL group (2.6 vs 3.2 days, Conclusion: We recommend that clinicians adopt QBL over EBL as standard practice since QBL is associated with lower length of stay and does not negatively impact other clinical outcomes.
