Review in BMC surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07389096 (Opioid-Free Anesthesia Versus Opioid Based Anesthesia For Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 20 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Intraoperative bleeding is a common issue in various surgical procedures, and the extent of bleeding significantly impacts the safety, efficacy, and prognosis of surgery. Therefore, accurate assessment of intraoperative blood loss and timely intervention are essential for the smooth progression of surgery and favorable clinical outcomes. Currently, clinical methods for estimating blood loss are generally classified into two main categories: visual and calculation methods. Calculation methods are further delineated into weighing techniques and concentration-based approaches. Although the visual method is criticized for its subjectivity and inaccuracy, it remains the most widely used approach in clinical practice for assessing intraoperative blood loss. This article reviews different methods for assessing blood loss during surgery and compares their respective advantages and disadvantages, aiming to provide surgeons with a more reliable foundation for intraoperative blood loss evaluation.
