Metagenomics analysis of the virome of 300 concentrates from a Swiss platelet bank.
Article in Vox sanguinis, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesPlatelet concentrates are frequently transfused to patients with reduced immunity. An exhaustive description of their viral content is needed to prevent unwanted infection. MATERIAL AND
methodsTo track viral sequences, a shotgun metagenomics approach was used on a bank of 300 platelets concentrates. Sequences were analysed through the diagnostics-oriented pipeline ezVIR.
resultsWe only observed viruses commonly described in healthy individuals.
conclusionHerein is reported the first viral landscape of a platelet concentrates bank.
