Visual inspection of stored canine blood for hemolysis compared with measured plasma-free hemoglobin to assess suitability for transfusion.

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
Canine blood was visually inspected for hemolysis and compared with the Food and Drug Administration's standard of less than 1% hemolysis as measured by plasma-free hemoglobin. This was the basis for deciding to transfuse or dispose of stored canine blood. Free hemoglobin was measured in stored red blood cell units and compared to a calculated 1% hemolysis. Veterinarians and technicians determined if they would transfuse units based on visual inspection for hemolysis. Their evaluation was compared to the calculated hemolysis cutoff. The evaluations of veterinarians and technicians were significantly different from the mathematically derived cutoff. The technicians' visual assessments of the usability of samples were significantly different from those of the veterinarians: technicians more frequently judged the sample as unusable. Experienced veterinary personnel both over- and under-estimate the degree of hemolysis in stored canine RBCs. We recommend objective analysis of the amount of free hemoglobin in stored blood prior to transfusion.
