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

Liver transplantation is a complex surgical procedure in which various forms of coagulation dysfunction can occur, including perioperative hypercoagulability. The hemostasis balance in liver graft recipients with end-stage liver disease can shift to thrombosis or haemorrhage, depending on the associated risk factors and clinical conditions. Hypercoagulability can result in serious complications such as thromboembolism, which can affect the vessels of the newly transplanted liver graft. Standard coagulation tests (SCTs), such as prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), have a poor ability to diagnose and monitor an early stage of hypercoagulability. Recent studies demonstrated that viscoelastic hemostatic elastic tests (VETs), such as rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and thromboelastography (TEG), are promising alternative tools for diagnosing hypercoagulability disorders. VETs measure clotting and clot formation time, clot strength (maximum clot firmness), fibrin and platelet contribution to clot firmness, and fibrinolysis, which makes them more sensitive in identifying liver graft recipients at risk for thrombosis as compared with SCTs. However, developing evidence-based guidelines for the prophylaxis and treatment of hypercoagulability based on VET results is still needed.
