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
purposePediatric patients undergoing neurosurgery pose risk of perioperative hemorrhage and clotting dysfunction which is increased in tumors with high vascularity, endothelial exposure, and necrosis. Lesions affecting the ventricular system may arise from several etiologies, including rare tumors. The present study aimed to study the preoperative coagulation and transfusion profile of pediatric patients undergoing neurosurgery for intraventricular lesions.
methodsA retrospective study of all paediatric patients who underwent surgery for intraventricular lesion was included from June 2014 to June 2022. Demographic data, preoperative and postoperative investigations, intraoperative blood loss, blood product transfusion, and duration of surgery were noted. Postoperative outcomes were also assessed.
resultsA total of 98 patients underwent surgery, the median age was 11.1 years (1.0 to 17.0), with a male predominance (50.9%). The median blood loss during surgery was 500 mL (300-812.5). The incidence of preoperative coagulopathy was 30.7%. The intraoperative packed blood cell and fresh frozen plasma transfusion requirement was noted in 50.9% and 5%, respectively. The median ICU stay and hospital stay was 6 days (3-10) and 14 days (4-77), respectively. The mortality rate in the study population was 7.7%.
conclusionThis study highlights the multifactorial nature of perioperative blood loss and transfusion requirements in pediatric patients undergoing surgery for intraventricular lesions. Factors such as tumor histopathology, preoperative hemoglobin levels, and surgical duration play a crucial role in determining transfusion needs.
