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.

Abstract

abstractUp to a third of patients with hemato-oncologic conditions who have received multiply transfusions develop immune-mediated platelet transfusion refractoriness. Yet factors that influence posttransfusion platelet corrected count increments (CCI) in patients with HLA-alloimmune platelet transfusion refractoriness remain less well elucidated. Recent advances in HLA antibody characterization using fluorescent bead-based platforms enable the study of donor-specific antibody (DSA) avidity (as measured by mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]) and its impact on HLA-alloimmune platelet transfusion refractoriness. In this large retrospective study of 2012 platelet transfusions among 73 HLA-alloimmunized patients, we evaluated the impact of cumulative HLA DSA-MFI alongside other donor, platelet component, and patient characteristics on CCI at 2 and 24 hours after transfusion. As part of a quality improvement initiative, we also developed and tested a computerized algorithm to optimize donor-recipient histocompatibility based on cumulative DSA-MFI and sought other actionable predictors of CCI. In multivariate analyses, cumulative HLA DSA-MFI of ≥10 000, major/bidirectional ABO-mismatch, splenomegaly, transfusion reactions, and platelet storage in additive solution negatively affected 2-hour but not 24-hour posttransfusion CCI. The DSA-MFI threshold of 10 000 was corroborated by greater antibody-mediated complement activation and significantly more CCI failures above this threshold, suggesting the usefulness of this value to inform "permissive platelet mismatching" and to optimize CCI. Furthermore, DSA-MFI decreases were deemed feasible by the computer-based algorithm for HLA-platelet selection in a pilot cohort of 8 patients (122 transfusions) evaluated before and after algorithm implementation. When HLA-selected platelets are unavailable, ABO-identical/minor-mismatched platelet concentrates may enhance 2-hour CCI in heavily HLA-alloimmunized patients with platelet transfusion refractoriness.
