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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate acute traumatic coagulopathy in pediatric trauma patients and to assess the effectiveness of coagulopathy-related findings in predicting prognosis.
methodsPatients aged between one month and 18 years who were admitted to our hospital due to trauma between October 2016 and January 2021 were included in the study. Demographic data, type of trauma, presence of acute bleeding, history of blood product transfusion, coagulation and hemogram parameters, as well as Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS), Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2), and Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scores were recorded. The relationship of each variable with acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) was statistically analyzed.
resultsA total of 282 patients, including 196 males and 86 females, were included in the study. The most common injury mechanism was motor vehicle accidents (47.5%), and the most frequent type of injury was head trauma (41.8%). Acute traumatic coagulopathy was detected in 141 patients (66.8%). There were statistically significant differences between the groups with and without acute traumatic coagulopathy in terms of admission body temperature, blood product transfusion, length of stay in the pediatric intensive care unit, GCS, PTS, ISS, PIM2, and PELOD scores (p<0.05). Additionally, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), pH, and HCO3 levels in blood gas analyses were significantly different between the groups (p<0.05). However, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, urea, platelet count, and lactate levels showed no statistically significant differences between the groups (p>0.05). The mortality rate and frequency of blood product transfusion were found to be statistically significantly higher in the group with acute traumatic coagulopathy (p<0.05) Exitus was observed in 14 (19.4%) transfused patients, while no deaths were recorded among non-transfused patients.
conclusionTrauma patients admitted to pediatric intensive care units should be closely monitored due to the risk of developing coagulopathy. The international normalized ratio (INR) can be used independently to predict the prognosis of these patients. Mortality rates are higher in patients who receive transfusions.
