The assessment of platelet function by thromboelastometry as a point-of-care test to guide Intercept-treated platelet support in hemato-oncological patients and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients.
Observational study in Transfusion, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundPathogen inactivation (PI) techniques for platelet concentrates (PCs) are one of the latest innovations to improve blood safety and reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs). An impaired function and in vivo recovery of platelets as well as an increased PC demand are concerns regarding these techniques. The intent of this study was to evaluate the hemostatic effect of PCs treated with the Intercept™ System by thromboelastometry (TEM) and to assess the clinical validity of its results in comparison to post-transfusion increase (PTI) and corrected count increment (CCI). STUDY-DESIGN AND
methodsThis prospective-observational study included 47 patients (m:f = 25:22; median age: 54 years [21-70]) of our Bone Marrow Transplantation unit with hemato-oncological malignancies transfused with Intercept™-treated PCs. Serial TEM measurements were performed just before and 1 hour after PC transfusion and were analyzed for their correlation with PTI and CCI as well as for clinical variables.
resultsThe majority of our patients had received a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (n = 41; 87%). In median 9 (1-50) PCs were transfused. Serial TEM, PTI, and CCI measurements were available for 150 transfusion episodes. The median platelet dose transfused was 2.65 × 10
conclusionSerial TEM measurements indicate the hemostatic effect of Intercept™-treated PCs. The 1-hour PTI and CCI may not appropriately reflect the in vivo function of platelets after PI PC transfusion.
