Effects of sugammadex on coagulation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC anesthesiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundSugammadex, an innovative agent that rapidly and completely reverses rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade, may prolong coagulation time and influence postoperative bleeding. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sugammadex on coagulation parameters.
methodsCochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, and PubMed were searched on September 25, 2024, for randomized control trials (RCTs) examining the impact of sugammadex on coagulation time.
resultsFive RCTs involving 1328 participants were included. Four RCTs with 1302 participants provided data for the meta-analysis. Sugammadex was found to prolong prothrombin time (PT) without affecting activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT).
conclusionsSugammadex administration may transiently increase PT values without affecting the APTT. Routine coagulation monitoring is not required in healthy individuals; however, individualized assessment should be conducted in high-risk patients. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the coagulation effects of sugammadex in patients with coagulopathies or those receiving anticoagulant therapy.
