A maximum surgical blood ordering schedule: Does it add value?
Article in Vox sanguinis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesImplementing and complying with a maximum surgical blood ordering schedule (MSBOS) is challenging but essential to avoid waste and reduce costs. MSBOS helps manage blood product scarcity and healthcare expenditure by avoiding unnecessary pre-transfusion testing and preparation, reducing product waste and improving clinical and operational efficiencies while maintaining patient safety. MATERIALS AND
methodsA multi-hospital health system in Ohio and Florida performing more than 200,000 surgeries annually implemented MSBOS through a risk-stratified protocol and electronic medical record automation.
resultsThe first-year analysis included 107,149 cases in 23 surgical specialties and 18 hospitals. Compliance with MSBOS improved over time, reducing type and screen tests by 4166 and saving $223,839 in costs. No patient safety issues were identified.
conclusionThis project demonstrates that adopting MSBOS in a large health system adds value by reducing unnecessary testing and costs while maintaining patient safety.
