Platelet Transfusions in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Review in Clinics in perinatology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
There is significant world-wide variability in platelet transfusion thresholds used to transfuse thrombocytopenic neonates. A large multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing 2 different platelet transfusion thresholds in neonates is currently ongoing, and should provide data to guide transfusion practice. However, several studies have found that factors other than the degree of thrombocytopenia determine the bleeding risk. Thus, it will be important to develop better tests to assess primary hemostasis and bleeding risk in neonates.
