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

Critically ill patients with sepsis often require packed cell transfusions (PCT). However, PCT may affect white blood cell (WBC) counts. We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study to trace changes in WBC count following PCT in critically ill patients with sepsis. We included 962 patients who received one unit of PCT while hospitalized in a general intensive care unit, and 994 matched patients who did not receive PCT. We calculated the mean values of WBC count for the 24 h before and 24 h after PCT. Multivariable analyses using a mixed linear regression model were performed. The mean WBC count decreased in both groups, but more in the non-PCT group (from 13.9 × 10
