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 aims: A severity-matched case-control study was done to analyze the efficacy of thromboelastography (TEG) in diagnosing and categorizing sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) by addressing the second pillar of patient blood management, i.e., minimizing bleeding and blood loss. Patients and methods: Sepsis-induced coagulopathy managed with TEG data was collected from 2020 to 2021, and severity-matched retrospective data where SIC managed with conventional tests was collected from 2018 to 2019, which comprised the control group. Age > 18 years, SIC requiring critical care admission were the inclusion criteria. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scoring system was used for severity matching. Coagulopathy was defined as an abnormal coagulation screen or TEG parameters. Results: A total of 125 patients were included in the TEG-based management, and 118 in the control group. Out of 125, TEG-based diagnosis showed normal, hypo, and hypercoagulable status in 26, 66, and 33 patients, respectively. Hypocoagulable picture was more predominant with an increase in the SOFA score. Severity-matched control group analysis showed that individualized hemostasis management with TEG resulted in a 58% reduction in mortality rate (from 91.67% to 38.4%, Conclusion: Patient blood management in SIC with TEG differentiates hypercoagulable from hypocoagulable patients, thus providing clarity in clinical decision-making to improve patient survival.
