1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPostpartum haemorrhage (PPH) causes ~70 000 maternal deaths annually, making it one of the leading causes of preventable maternal mortality. This study evaluated the effectiveness of individualised goal-directed bleeding management (GDBM) in severe PPH in our centre with unique geographical challenges.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of severe PPH requiring massive transfusion over 1 years. Patients were classified into a fixed ratio (1:1:1) massive transfusion protocol (Group 1) and GDBM (Group 2). Study outcomes included blood utilisation, persistence of coagulopathy after resuscitation and mortality. The target was to keep a fibrinogen level of >200 mg/dL during the resuscitation. Thromboelastography was used to guide GDBM, and data were analysed using mean, median, percentage changes, chi-square test, student t test, and Mann-Whitney U-test.

resultsOut of 96 patients (42 were in Group 1 and 54 in Group 2), GDBM led to increased cryoprecipitate utilisation (410 vs. 297 units) and a higher post-resuscitation fibrinogen value (252 [185.32-426.42] mg/dL vs. 204.6 [154.5-274.05] mg/dL, p = 0.02). The cryoprecipitate turnaround time was improved (41 vs. 73 min, p < 0.001) with GDBM ensuring timely administration. Increased fibrinolysis activity was observed in 24% of the patients in TEG. The persistence of coagulopathy after deactivation of MTP was lower in GDBM (7.4% vs. 26.19%). Out of the three patients who did not survive, two were in Group 1.

conclusionIndividualised GDBM optimises blood utilisation, reduces turnaround time and improves coagulopathy in PPH and needs to be prioritised.
