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

Thromboelastography (TEG) is a laboratory assay utilized to evaluate hemostatic properties of blood, identify coagulopathy, and guide blood product administration. While the clinical use of TEG started in the care of surgical patients, the assay has now been incorporated more routinely in the care of the medical patient as well. In this review, we explore the evolution of TEG from the historical perspective of its inception to the current state of the art of the assay. The TEG procedure and its measurements are illustrated along with a table that summarizes recommendations from across the medical and surgical literature. After each section, we review salient learning points to provide the busy clinician with information that can be immediately integrated at the bedside. We conclude with a series of summary questions to check for comprehension and direct the reader to additional resources to improve their knowledge of TEG.
