Effect of storage duration on outcome of patients receiving red blood cell in emergency department.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The effect of the duration of red blood cell (RBC) storage on the outcomes of transfused patients remains controversial, and studies on patients in the emergency department (ED) are limited. This study aimed to determine the association between RBC storage duration and outcomes of patients receiving transfusions in the ED. For RBCs issued to patients in the ED between 2017 and 2022, the storage period of the RBC and data on the transfused patient were obtained. Patients were divided into fresh (≤ 7 days) and old (> 7 days) RBC groups, and the associations between storage duration, outcomes, and laboratory changes were evaluated. There was no significant difference in outcomes between the two groups in the 28-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.75-1.10, P = 0.320) and the length of stay (fresh 13.5 ± 18.1 vs. old 13.3 ± 19.8, P = 0.814). Regarding changes in laboratory test results, the increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels was not affected by the storage durations. The study revealed that transfusion of older RBCs is not associated with inferior outcomes or adverse clinical consequences when compared to that of fresh RBCs in patients in the ED.
