A Survey on the implementation of Patient Blood Management programs in Italy.
Article in Blood transfusion = Trasfusione del sangue. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundSince 2012, in line with the World Health Organization (WHO) resolution WHA63.12 of 05/21/2010, the Italian National Blood Center has been promoting patient blood management (PBM). In order to verify the level of PBM implementation nationwide, we submitted a survey to all healthcare providers. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn line with what was proposed in the international scientific literature in the field, a series of indicators was used derived from the four main blocks related to PBM strategies: the management of patient anemia; the optimization of hemostasis; blood conservation strategies; patient-centred decision-making. We also added two blocks containing important information on general PBM management and other PBM-related aspects.
resultsThe survey showed good implementation of anemia screening programs in accordance with the timelines established by national and international guidelines, and the single unit policy is used in line with national guideline recommendations. However, the survey also revealed limited auditing of PBM programs and reduced monitoring and reporting of clinical outcomes and indicators. DISCUSSION: The first national survey on the level of PBM implementation in Italy shows widespread adoption of diagnostic-therapeutic care pathways aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of anemia in the perioperative setting.
