Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03606252 (Specialized Proresolving Mediators Evaluation in Pneumocystis Pneumonia Human Infection), which is not on this map. Cited by 70 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Red blood cells (RBCs) have been shown to affect immune function and can induce inflammatory responses after transfusion. The transfusion of washed RBCs can significantly reduce adverse effects, however, the soluble factors that may mediate these effects have not been identified. Previous studies have identified, but not quantified, a small number of chemokines associated with RBCs. We isolated RBCs from healthy volunteers and quantified of a panel of 48 cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors in the lysate, cytosol, and conditioned media of these cells using Luminex
