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: Massive transfusion (MT) is life-saving for patients with exsanguination, especially after blunt abdominopelvic trauma, due to subtle manifestations. Blunt bowel mesenteric injuries (BBMIs), besides their potential risk of peritonitis, are still one of the few indications for emergency laparotomy for hemorrhagic shock in the era of nonoperative management. Early prediction of the need for MT defined as using ≥ 10 units of packed red blood cells (PRBCs) in 24 h and activation of the MT protocol (MTP) is a critical aspect in resuscitation. Current scoring systems predicting MT are usually laboratory data or hemodynamic status-dependent, which are limited by the time-consuming and dynamic characteristics of trauma; thus, they seem to lack objectivity in patients with BBMI due to dramatic clinical deterioration. The present study aimed to determine the predictors of associated injuries contributing to the requirement for MT in patients who underwent surgical BBMI. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the data of hospitalized patients with trauma between 2009 and 2022. The patients were divided based on the presence or absence of MT before emergency laparotomy. Associated injury parameters and bowel mesenteric injury characteristics were used in multivariate regression analysis to identify independent predictors of MT. Results: A total of 163 adult patients with surgically proven BBMI were enrolled in the study. The overall patients with MT were 30.6% (50/163). Compared to the MT (-) group, BBMI patients receiving MT had worse clinical injury severity, vital signs, and prognosis; patients receiving MT had significant a lower initial hemoglobin level and higher percentages of receiving PRBC (11.15 mg/dL vs. 13.10 mg/dL, Conclusions: For patients with BBMI, one-third require MT prior to laparotomy, necessitating early activation of the MTP. When BBMI patients present with hemodynamic instability or higher injury severity, particularly in the presence of concomitant TBI or pelvic fractures, trauma surgeons should initiate more aggressive resuscitation to prevent therapeutic delays.
