Development and Evaluation of a PCV-Dependent Visual Hemolysis Color Scale for Packed Red Blood Cell Products.
Article in Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care (San Antonio, Tex. : 2001). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo develop a PCV-dependent hemolysis color scale and evaluate its accuracy in predicting supernatant hemoglobin concentration in packed red blood cell (pRBC) products, helping to determine transfusion safety.
designProspective experimental study.
settingUniversity veterinary teaching hospital.
interventionsSerial dilutions of a pRBC unit were performed to create a range of hemolyzed supernatant samples. A commercial graphics program was used to allocate computerized color to each hemolyzed sample, constructing a color scale. Study participants were then asked to use the color scale to estimate the hemoglobin concentration of a provided supernatant sample. The color estimation data were analyzed by the authors to determine whether to transfuse blood, as pRBC should not be transfused if the product's percentage hemolysis is >1%. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsVisual inspection with the color scale was evaluated with seven supernatant test samples containing different free hemoglobin concentrations (0.3-8.0 g/L). The percentage of correct color estimation overall was 61.9%. The percentage of correct decisions to transfuse the blood product overall would have been 93.7%. All incorrect estimations were one color range (approximately 1.0 g/L difference between the ranges) off from the correct estimation for all samples.
conclusionsThe color scale aided the visual assessment of hemolysis. However, visual inspection with the color scale can still be inaccurate near the corresponding cutoff color of <1% hemolysis in each PCV range. If the supernatant color of the unit is estimated to be one color range off from the cutoff color, the cell-free hemoglobin concentration of the unit should be measured, and percentage hemolysis should be calculated to determine if it meets the <1% hemolysis standard.
