Patterns of phlebotomy blood loss and transfusions in extremely low birth weight infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06555315 (Pilot Non-inferiority Study Investigating Daily Versus Every Other Day Dosing of Oral Iron in Premature Infants.), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveCharacterize frequency and volume of blood draws and transfusions in extremely low birth weight infants in the first 10 weeks of life. STUDY
designWe included infants with a birth weight <1000 g born 23 0/7-29 6/7 weeks gestational age (GA) and with a length of stay ≥10 weeks, admitted between 2014 and 2016 to a single neonatal intensive care unit.
resultsOf 54 infants, median (25th, 75th percentile) GA and birth weight were 25 weeks (24, 26) and 665 g (587, 822), respectively. Median number of blood draws per infant decreased from 57 (49, 65) in week 1 to 12 (8, 22) in week 10. Median volume of blood extracted was 83 mL (70, 97), and median number of blood transfusions was 8 (5, 10).
conclusionsThis cohort experienced a high number and volume of blood draws. Draw frequency and transfusions decreased over the first 10 weeks of life.
