Estimating surgical blood loss: A review of current strategies in various clinical settings.
Review in SAGE open medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The estimation of surgical blood loss is routinely performed during and after surgical procedures and has morbidity and mortality implications related to the risk of under- and over-resuscitation. The strategies for estimating surgical blood loss include visual estimation, the gravimetric method, the colorimetric method, formula-based methods, and other techniques (e.g., cell salvage). Currently, visual estimation continues to be the most widely used technique. In addition, unique considerations exist when these techniques are applied to various clinical settings such as massive transfusion, cardiac surgery, and obstetrics. Ultimately, when using estimated surgical blood loss to guide perioperative fluid management and transfusion thresholds, it is also important to mitigate the risks associated with resuscitation by targeting a goal-directed fluid therapy approach by utilizing markers of fluid-responsiveness to optimize stroke volume (cardiac output) and delivery of oxygen.
