1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMicroparticles (MPs) are submicron size cell fragments that are released from cells.

objectivesWe hypothesise that MPs increase during red blood cell (RBC) storage and are part of the pro-inflammatory activity, which accumulates in the RBC supernatant. METHODS/MATERIALS: RBC units were separated from whole blood of eight healthy donors: 5 U were split, with 50% undergoing leucoreduction (LR) and the remaining left as unmodified controls. The remaining 3 U were leucoreduced. Samples were obtained at days (D) 1 and 42 and cell-free supernatants separated and stored. The supernatants were centrifuged at 17 000 × g (60 min) or 100 000 × g (120 min) into microparticle-rich (MPR) and microparticle-poor (MPP) portions, resuspended in albumin, incubated with antibodies to CD235 (RBCs), CD45 [white blood cells (WBCs)] and CD41a [platelets (Plts)], and analysed by flow cytometry. Isolated neutrophils were incubated with these samples, and priming activity measured.

resultsTotal MPs increased during storage; however, MPs that marked for precursor cell types did not. Significant priming accumulated in the MPP fraction during storage with some activity present in the MPR fraction from D1 and D42 LR-RBCs.

conclusionMost of the pro-inflammatory priming activity from stored RBCs resides in the MPP supernatant, although the MPR fraction from D42 LR-RBCs does contain some priming activity.
