Postresuscitation platelet transfusion in major trauma patients.
Article in Transfusion, 2025. 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
backgroundPlatelet transfusions (PLT-t) are a cornerstone of contemporary trauma resuscitation, but little is known about their use in the postresuscitation period. Our aims were to describe the utilization of PLT-t after resuscitation and examine their impact on platelet count and clinical outcomes. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsAdult trauma patients admitted to critical care at a single major trauma center were included. We compared patients who received PLT-t postresuscitation (>24 h after injury) with those who did not and examined platelet increments before and after each individual PLT-t episode. Logistic regressions were constructed to examine the association between postresuscitation PLT-t and clinical outcomes.
resultsThis study included 803 injured patients, of whom 109 (14%) received at least one PLT-t after resuscitation. Overall, 30% (221/725) of all platelet units administered to the cohort were given in the postresuscitation phase, most in the first week of admission and to patients with moderate-severe thrombocytopenia. The median platelet count increment following transfusion was 19 × 10
conclusionPostresuscitation PLT-t is frequently administered in trauma patients. The impact on platelet counts is variable, likely attributable to differences in timing and pretransfusion platelet count. After adjusting for relevant confounders, postresuscitation PLT-t was associated with reduced mortality in this cohort.
