Rattlesnake Roundup: Point-of-Care Thrombelastographic Methods Define the Molecular Impacts on Coagulation of

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
A malalignment between rattlesnake-envenomed patients' degree of compromised coagulation and the data generated by standard hematological determinations generated with blood samples anticoagulated with calcium (Ca) chelating agents is almost certain. Many rattlesnake venom toxins are Ca-independent toxins that likely continue to damage plasmatic and cellular components of coagulation in blood samples (anticoagulated with Ca chelation) during transportation from the emergency department to the clinical laboratory. The most straightforward approach to abrogate this patient-laboratory malalignment is to reduce "needle to activation time"-the time from blood collection to commencement of laboratory analysis-with utilization of point-of-care (POC) technology such as thrombelastography. The workflow and history of standard and POC approaches to hematological assessment is reviewed. Further, using a preclinical model of envenomation with four different rattlesnake venoms, the remarkably diverse damage to coagulation revealed with POC thrombelastography is presented. It is anticipated that future investigation and potential changes in clinical monitoring practices with POC methods of hematological assessment will improve the management of envenomed patients and assist in precision care.
