Hemostatic efficacy of pathogen-reduced platelets in children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.
Article in Transfusion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05711524 (Pilot Clinical Trial of Transfusion of Pathogen Reduced Cryoprecipitated Fibrinogen), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 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.

Abstract
backgroundPediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often require blood component transfusions. Pathogen-reduction (PR) of platelets reduces the risk of microbial contamination; however, its effect on hemostatic efficacy in this population is unclear. This study sought to characterize the hemostatic efficacy of PR platelets in children undergoing CPB. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsWe performed a retrospective chart review of patients admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit following CPB surgery from 2015 to 2019. Demographic data, validated scoring of repair complexity, products received, and outcomes were compared. The primary outcome was postoperative chest tube bleeding.
resultsA total of 140 patients were enrolled. The majority of surgeries (124/140) were Risk Adjustment for Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS) 1-3 repairs. Seventy-four percent of patients (104/140) received only standard platelets whereas 26% (36/140) received PR platelets. There were no differences between the groups in the age (p = .90), sex (p = .20) or RACHS score (p = .06). Postoperatively, there was no difference in the median chest tube output for 1 h (p = .27), 2 h (p = .26), 4 h (p = .09), 8 h (p = .16), or for the first 24 h following surgery (p = .23) in patients who received standard versus PR platelets. There was also no difference in receipt of platelets (p = .18), cell saver (p = .79), or cryoprecipitate (p = .28).
conclusionPatients receiving PR platelets did not have more blood loss or require more transfusions than those who received standard platelets. This suggests that PR platelets may provide acceptable hemostasis with the additional benefits of reduced risk of microbial contamination in pediatric patients undergoing CPB.
