Implementation of a patient blood management program in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Editorial, p. 2763).
Observational study in Transfusion, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundRecipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are among the highest consumers of allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) components. The impact of patient blood management (PBM) efforts on HSCT recipients is poorly understood. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsThis observational study assessed changes in blood product use and patient-centered outcomes before and after implementing a multidisciplinary PBM program for patients undergoing HSCT at a large academic medical center. The pre-PBM cohort was treated from January 1 through September 31, 2013; the post-PBM cohort was treated from January 1 through September 31, 2015.
resultsWe identified 708 patients; 284 of 352 (80.7%) in the pre-PBM group and 225 of 356 (63.2%) in the post-PBM group received allogeneic RBCs (p < 0.001). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) RBC volumes were higher before PBM than after PBM (3 [2-4] units vs. 2 [1-4] units; p = 0.004). A total of 259 of 284 pre-PBM patients (91.2%) and 57 of 225 (25.3%) post-PBM patients received RBC transfusions when hemoglobin levels were more than 7 g/dL (p < 0.001). The median (IQR) PLT transfusion quantities was 3 (2-5) units for pre-PBM patients and 2 (1-4) units for post-PBM patients (p < 0.001). For patients with PLT counts of more than 10 × 10
conclusionPatient blood management implementation for HSCT recipients was associated with marked reductions in allogeneic RBC and PLT transfusions and decreased transfusion-related costs with no detrimental impact on clinical outcomes.
