Animal blood in translational research: How to adjust animal blood viscosity to the human standard.
Article in Physiological reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Animal blood is used in mock circulations or in forensic bloodstain pattern analysis. Blood viscosity is important in these settings as it determines the driving pressure through biomedical devices and the shape of the bloodstain. However, animal blood can never exactly mimic human blood due to erythrocyte properties differing among species. This results in the species-specific shear thinning behavior of blood suspensions, and it is therefore not enough to adjust the hematocrit of an animal blood sample to mimic the behavior of human blood over the entire range of shear rates that are present in the body. In order to optimize experiments that require animal blood, we need models to adapt the blood samples. We here offer mathematical models derived for each species using a multi linear regression approach to describe the influence of shear rate, hematocrit, and temperature on blood viscosity. Results show that pig blood cannot be recommended for experiments at low flow conditions (<200 s
