Transfusion reactions in neonates and pediatrics: How and why are they different?
Review in Asian journal of transfusion science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Neonates and children are physically as well as physiologically different from adults. They are immunologically vulnerable, and the effects of transfusion can be longstanding, including with respect to their development. The transfusion reactions in children differ from those in adults in the type of reactions, incidence, and severity. The incidence is more than that in adults for the common type of reactions noted in children. Transfusion reactions are most commonly associated with platelets, followed by plasma and red blood cell transfusions in children. Febrile, allergic, and hypotensive reactions or volume overload are the common types in children. Standardizing pediatric adverse transfusion reaction definitions and criteria are necessary to improve studies and reports. Several modifications are needed to be adapted for transfusing blood products in neonates and children to evade the reactions as much as possible and make transfusion safer in this vulnerable population. This article provides a brief articulation of the transfusion reactions in neonatal and pediatric populations describing how they are different from adults.
