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

backgroundThe need for thawed cryoprecipitate is growing. However, according to current guidelines, the shelf-life of pooled thawed cryoprecipitate at room temperature is limited because of possible bacterial contamination and loss of clotting factor activity. Here we assessed microbial growth and retention of clotting activity in cryoprecipitate stored at 4 °C after thawing to see whether its shelf life could be safely extended. MATERIALS AND

methodsPooled thawed cryoprecipitate units (n=10) were maintained at room temperature for 6 hours and then placed at 1-6 °C for 18 hours after thawing. We examined the cryoprecipitate pools for fibrinogen, factor VIII, and von Willebrand factor activity at the following time points: 0 hours (immediately after thawing), after 6 hours at room temperature, and after 24 hours at 1-6 °C. A 5-mL aliquot from each pool was collected for aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures at the 24-hour time point.

resultsMean fibrinogen concentration and von Willebrand factor activity were similar at each time point, but factor VIII activity decreased significantly over the storage period. Bacterial growth was not detected in any cultured pooled sample. DISCUSSION: Extended storing of thawed cryoprecipitate at 1-6 °C does not appear to increase the risk of bacterial contamination or affect coagulation factor activity.
