Extension of the Storage Period of Platelet Concentrates in Germany to 5 Days by Bacterial Testing: Is it Worth the Effort?
Article in Transfusion medicine and hemotherapy : offizielles Organ der Deutschen Gesellschaft fur Transfusionsmedizin und Immunhamatologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The shelf life of platelet concentrates (PCs) was limited in Germany to 4 days after the day of production because platelet-related septic complications had been observed, mainly with PCs at the end of their shelf life. The reduction in PC shelf life gives rise to several problems, including an increased number of discarded products, accompanied by potential challenges of how to ensure an adequate supply of platelet products. The aim of this study was to show routine experience over the last 7 years using the Bactiflow (BF) assay to screen for bacterial contamination late in PC storage, followed by extension of PC shelf life.
