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
Anemia in critically ill patients requires red cell transfusions to increase oxygen delivery and prevent deleterious outcomes. The primary objective of the present study was to determine the effect of storage age of transfused red cells on 30-day mortality in critically ill patients, with secondary objectives of determining the effect on length of stay, organ failure, and adverse transfusion reactions. This prospective study was conducted on patients admitted to the intensive care unit after obtaining approval from institutional ethics committee. Patients were randomized to transfusion with packed red blood cells (PRBC) with age of collection either ≤ 14 days (Group 1) or > 14 days (Group 2). APACHE II scores were calculated at admission. Patients were followed up for primary outcome of 30-day mortality, and secondary outcomes including length of stay, infections, organ dysfunction, and adverse transfusion reactions. The 30-day mortality was 20% in Group 1 and 28% in Group 2 (
