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
introductionAcute hemolytic transfusion reaction is a rare but extremely mortal condition. Even small quantities of ABO-incompatible erythrocytes, as much as 50 mL, can lead to fatality. Since there is no successful standard therapy, preventive measures are very important. In this case report, we presented a 29-year-old woman who was transfused with 2 units of AB Rh-positive instead of 0 Rh-positive red blood cells following a cesarean section. As far as we know, this is the first patient in the literature for whom ruxolitinib was used as a part of therapy. CASE REPORT: The patient was referred to our center 22 h after the ABO-mismatched transfusion. On admission, she had severe hemolysis, acute renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Massive plasma exchange, hemodialysis, and pulse steroid therapy were commenced. The patient was refractory to first-line therapies. She was intubated on day 2 due to hypoxia, respiratory failure and changes in consciousness. Ruxolitinib, 2 × 10 mg/day, was started on day 3. The patient's clinical status improved on day 6. Ruxolitinib was withdrawn on day 15, and the patient was discharged without any complications or sequels on day 26.
conclusionRuxolitinib may be life-saving in patients with ABO-incompatible transfusion reaction which follows a severe and catastrophic course.
