Hemolysis Control in the Emergency Department by Interventional Blood Sampling.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The hemolysis rate in the emergency department (ED) is higher compared to that in other departments. We propose a new blood sampling technique without repeated venipuncture to reduce hemolysis and compare the hemolysis rate between blood collected by this method and that collected with an intravenous (IV) catheter. This prospective study included a nonconsecutive sample of patients visiting the ED (aged ≥ 18 years) of a tertiary urban university hospital. The intravenous catheterization was performed by three pre-trained nurses. The new blood collection technique involved sample collection without removing the catheter needle, performed immediately before the conventional method (through an IV catheter), without additional venipuncture. Two blood samples were collected from each patient using both the new and conventional methods, and the hemolysis index was evaluated. We compared the hemolysis rate between the two methods. From the 260 patients enrolled in this study, 147 (56.5%) were male, and the mean age was 58.3 years. The hemolysis rate of the new blood collection method was 1.9% (5/260), which was significantly lower than that of the conventional method (7.3%; 19/260) (
