Hematological Changes in Platelet Apheresis Donors: An Observational Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
Background The demand for platelet concentrates is increasing for treating patients in clinics such as oncology. Single donor platelets (SDPs) collected through apheresis offer a lower risk of transfusion-related complications. Aim This observational study aims to evaluate hematological changes in donors before and after platelet donation via apheresis, shedding light on donor safety and eligibility criteria. Methods This was a pilot study involving 30 plateletpheresis procedures. Hematological parameters were measured before and after donation, including platelet count and hematocrit. Results All donors were male, with an age range of 18-45 years. Blood group distribution among donors was O+ve (12), A+ve (6), B+ve (5), AB+ve (4), B-ve (1), O-ve (1), and AB-ve (1). The mean fall in platelet count after donation was 50,833/mm
