Investigation of the patients with recurrent acute transfusion reactions: A single tertiary medical centre experience.

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
objectiveTo assess the spectrum of patients who developed recurrent acute transfusion reactions (TRs) and to characterize these recurrent TRs.
methodsThis retrospective study included patients who developed ≥2 acute TRs between April 2017 and March 2020 in a tertiary medical centre.
resultsAmong 216 TRs that occurred after 2024 transfusions in 87 patients, 66 (75.9%) patients reported a history of transfusions before the first TR and 70 (80.5%) patients received further transfusions after the last TR; with the same type of TR and reaction to the same type of blood product observed in 59 (67.8%) patients and 56 (64.4%) patients, respectively. TRs were most commonly associated with packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions and a febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) was the most common type of TR. However, leukocyte reduced (LR) PRBCs were less common than LR platelets among transfusions with TR (22.7% [27/119] versus 75.0% [57/76], respectively) and premedication was prescribed before 196 of 216 (90.7%) transfusions with TR.
conclusionMost patients with recurrent TRs received repeated transfusions in addition to transfusions with TR. Instead of considering premedication, an increase in the use of LR might be the strategy to reduce the recurrence of TR.
