Initial TEG 6s parameters for risk stratification of hemorrhage-related outcomes in massively transfused trauma patients.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2026. 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
purposeWhile thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) allow rapid coagulation assessment, the prognostic value of arrival TEG 6s remains unclear. We examined the association between initial TEG 6s findings and in-hospital mortality and early transfusion requirements in trauma patients undergoing massive transfusion, excluding severe traumatic brain injury to better assess hemorrhage-related outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective study included trauma patients who received massive transfusion and TEG 6s testing upon arrival at a Level I trauma center in South Korea. Patients with transfers, incomplete records, or head/neck AIS ≥ 3 were excluded. TEG 6s parameters were classified using published thresholds. Multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses evaluated associations with in-hospital mortality and RBC transfusion volumes at 4 and 24 h.
resultsAmong 194 patients, 54.1% had abnormal TEG 6s results. These patients received higher RBC transfusion volumes at 4 and 24 h, and had higher in-hospital mortality. Abnormal TEG 6s findings were associated with higher in-hospital mortality in the multivariable analysis (adjusted OR 3.505, p = 0.050) and increased transfusion volume at 4 h (B = 1.686, p = 0.023) and 24 h (B = 2.313, p = 0.042).
conclusionInitial TEG 6s abnormalities were associated with in-hospital mortality and early RBC transfusion in trauma patients undergoing massive transfusion. In massively transfused patients without severe traumatic brain injury, these findings suggest that arrival TEG 6s parameters may aid early risk stratification for hemorrhage-related outcomes.
