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

backgroundThis systematic review aims to determine the loads of anti-A and anti-B in plasma-containing blood products that can safely be transfused to adults. MATERIALS AND

methodsA comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, including studies dating back to 1940 until January 1

resultsWe identified HTRs with a wide-ranging antibody content, with the lowest being a platelet product with an antibody content of 12,480 AU for both IgM and IgG. However, we could establish that a calculated cutoff of 10,000 AU for IgM as well as 30,000 AU for IgG in plasma could be considered safe for transfusion. DISCUSSION: While titer is considered the gold standard when evaluating risk for HTR, the total volume of plasma transfused is rarely considered. Here, we recommend calculating an antibody content by using a titer and plasma volume of the unit(s) intended for transfusion as a good risk mitigation strategy for reducing HTRs.
