1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Alexandria University blood bank adopted double screening tests: a fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassay followed by nucleic acid testing. The aim of the study was to assess the efficiency of dual check of HCV in preventing transfusion related infection among patients admitted to PICU. A prospective cohort study was carried on patients admitted to PICU during 6 months. The included patients performed HCV RNA detection on admission by conventional reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique. Only negative cases were recruited, then patients receiving blood or its product were checked after 4 weeks from discharge by RT-PCR for HCV RNA. A total of 33 patients received 108 transfusions: 9 patients of them deceased during PICU stay and the remaining 24 patients were all found to be negative for HCV. The dual screening of HCV should be implemented in all blood banks of Egypt especially for critically ill pediatric patients.
