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

introductionTransfusion is an important question of daily clinical practice. Transfusion is governed by rigorous security rules.

aimTo assess the knowledge of healthcare personnel regarding transfusion.

methodsThis descriptive study was carried out by an anonymous survey, with anaesthetist resident, surgery resident, interns, anaesthetist, and nurses. This study was from January 1 to February 29, 2020. It was approved by the local ethics committee.

resultsWe included 196 participants. 94.9% knew that red blood cells must be stored in the refrigerator. 58.2% thought that red blood cells should be transfused within 30 minutes of warming, and 31.6% said it should be transfused within 3 hours. We found that 85% knew that fresh frozen plasma should be stored in the freeze, and 59.7% said that the frozen plasma should be thawed within 30 minutes at most and 38.3% thought that the thawing should take at least one hour. Regarding the pretransfusion bedside test, 84.4% knew that it must be done by two personnel one of whom must be a doctor. 40.8% thought that the test consists of mix a drop of patient blood and a drop of bag blood.

conclusionSeveral insufficiencies were found. There is a necessity of launching periodic training courses focusing on the management of blood products and the transfusion procedure.
