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

Despite the importance of the hemostatic properties of reconstituted freeze-dried plasma (FDP) for trauma resuscitation, few studies have been conducted to determine its post-reconstitution hemostatic stability. This study aimed to assess the short- (≤24 h) and long-term (≥168 h) hemostatic stabilities of Canadian and German freeze-dried plasma (CFDP and LyoPlas) after reconstitution and storage under different conditions. Post-reconstitution hemostatic profiles were determined using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and a Stago analyzer, as both are widely used as standard methods for assessing the quality of plasma. When compared to the initial reconstituted CFDP, there were no changes in ROTEM measurements for INTEM maximum clot firmness (MCF), EXTEM clotting time (CT) and MCF, and Stago measurements for prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), D-dimer concentration, plasminogen, and protein C activities after storage at 4 °C for 24 h and room temperature (RT) (22-25 °C) for 4 h. However, an increase in INTEM CT and decreases in fibrinogen concentration, factors V and VIII, and protein S activities were observed after storage at 4 °C for 24 h, while an increase in factor V and decreases in antithrombin and protein S activities were seen after storage at RT for 4 h. Evaluation of the long-term stability of reconstituted LyoPlas showed decreased stability in both global and specific hemostatic profiles with increasing storage temperatures, particularly at 35 °C, where progressive changes in CT and MCF, PT, PTT, fibrinogen concentration, factor V, antithrombin, protein C, and protein S activities were seen even after storage for 4 h. We confirmed the short-term stability of CFDP in global hemostatic properties after reconstitution and storage at RT, consistent with the shelf life of reconstituted LyoPlas. The long-term stability analyses suggest that the post-reconstitution hemostatic stability of FDP products would decrease over time with increasing storage temperature, with a significant loss of hemostatic functions at 35 °C compared to 22 °C or below. Therefore, the shelf life of reconstituted FDP should be recommended according to the storage temperature.
