A systematic review and meta-analysis of blood transfusion rates during liver resection by country.
Article in Annals of surgical treatment and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the blood transfusion rates during liver resection by country to prepare a basis for patient blood management policy. Methods: Relevant articles from January 2020 to December 2022 were identified through an electronic database search. Meta-analyses were performed using fixed- or random-effects models. Study heterogeneity was assessed using the Q-test and I Results: Of 104 studies (103,778 participants), the mean transfusion rate was 16.20%. Korea's rate (9.72%) was lower than Western (14.97%) and other Eastern nations (18.61%). Although open surgery rates were alike (approximately 25%) globally, Korea's minimally invasive surgery rate was lower (6.28% Conclusion: Korea showed a lower transfusion rate during liver resection than other countries. In addition to the patient's characteristics, including diagnosis and surgical methods, differences in the medical environment affect blood transfusion rates during liver resection.
