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
Bleeding patients in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) are often coagulopathic, yet the best way to guide blood product resuscitation for the critically ill is not settled. Viscoelastic tests, such as thromboelastography (TEG), are increasingly used by intensivists to guide resuscitation and restore hemostasis. We performed a retrospective study of patients admitted to the MICU at a single tertiary care center in Detroit, Michigan, USA, with a high prevalence of decompensated cirrhosis and septic shock. The historical cohort included patients prior to TEG being available in the MICU. The observational cohort included data where TEG was available and applied in our MICU to guide blood product use. Patients were included if they were an adult > 18 years of age with an initial admission to Henry Ford Hospital MICU who received any blood component therapy. A total of 927 patients met inclusion criteria with 487 (52.5%) patients in the historical cohort and 440 (47.5%) in the observational cohort. Compared with the historical cohort, patients of the observational cohort were administered significantly less plasma (658.3 mL/patient (IQR = 931) vs. 410.8 mL/patient (IQR = 381),
