The probability of allogeneic blood transfusion and its influencing factors in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Asian journal of transfusion science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT).
aimsThe present study aimed to determine the predicting factors for ABT in patients undergoing TKA. SETTING AND
designThis was a retrospective cohort study, performed from 2003 to 2021 in Kashani hospital (a tertiary referral center) in Isfahan, Iran. SUBJECTS AND
methodsPatients who underwent TKA during the period of the study were included in the study. Demographic data including age, sex, marital status, and place of living were extracted. Surgery-related factors, including the day of admission and surgery, indication for surgery, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, were recorded. Data about ABT during and after surgery, hemoglobin (Hb), creatinine (Cr), platelet (Plt) level before the surgery and past medical history including comorbidities and drug history were also evaluated. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Independent sample
resultsDuring the study period, 889 patients underwent TKA and were included. Three hundred and seven (34.53%) patients received ABT. In the univariate analysis, factors including asthma, anemia, antihypertensive drug consumption, preoperative Hb and Plt, and Cr had a significant relation with transfusion. Among these factors, preoperative Hb and Plt level had a significant association with transfusion in the logistic regression analysis.
conclusionWe deduce that preoperative Hb and Plt can predict the probability of transfusion in patients undergoing TKA. We suggest routine blood preservation before the surgery in hospitals with a high rate of transfusion.
