Quantra® Viscoelastic Testing in Pediatric Trauma: A Review of Emerging Evidence and Clinical Integration.
Review in Cureus, 2025. 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
Early recognition and correction of trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) are critical determinants of survival in pediatric trauma. Traditional laboratory evaluations, such as prothrombin time (PT)/international normalised ratio (INR) and fibrinogen, provide a delayed and incomplete assessment of real-time clotting behavior. The Quantra® System (HemoSonics, Charlottesville, VA, USA), a type of viscoelastic hemostatic assay (VHAs), utilizes soundwave technology to provide a more rapid and comprehensive assessment of coagulation. This review summarizes current evidence regarding Quantra use in pediatric trauma, compares it with conventional viscoelastic tools (TEG® (Haemonetics, Boston, MA, USA) and ROTEM® (Werfen, Bedford, MA, USA)), and discusses emerging experience in perioperative monitoring and trauma resuscitation pathways. Though preliminary data suggests Quantra is well-correlated with conventional VHAs and offers rapid, simple, and standardized assessment in pediatric trauma resuscitation, large-scale pediatric validation studies are needed to define thresholds, optimize transfusion algorithms, and assess outcomes.
