The Plateletcrit and Hematocrit Levels in Premature Infants with Intraventricular Hemorrhage.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. 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
Objective: We investigated the relationship between hematocrit (Hct) and plateletcrit (Pct) values and intraventricular hemorrhage. Methods: This retrospectively analyzed study conducted at the tertiary NICU (Bursa Uludag University Faculty of Medicine) between January 2016 and September 2019. The data of neonates with a gestational age of <32 weeks without and with intraventricular hemorrhage in the first three postnatal days was compared as retrospective. Results: The data of 200 patients were analyzed, including 48 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage and 152 without intraventricular hemorrhage. In the intraventricular hemorrhage group, the values were found to be significantly lower than in the non-intraventricular hemorrhage group for second-day Hct (42.9 ± 7.6 vs. 47 ± 6.6, respectively, p<0.001) and third day Hct (37.9 ± 8 vs. 43 ± 6.8, respectively, p<0.001). The third-day Pct values were lower in patients with severe intraventricular hemorrhage than in those without intraventricular hemorrhage (0.12 [0.07-0.14] vs. 0.17 [0.12-0.23], respectively, p=0.022). When the Hct and Pct values were evaluated together, it was observed that the second-day Hct×Pct values of those with second day intraventricular hemorrhage as well as the third day Hct×Pct values of those with third day intraventricular hemorrhage were lower than in patients without intraventricular hemorrhage. Conclusions: It was observed that the Hct×Pct values of the same day were lower in patients with intraventricular hemorrhage on days two and three. It was observed that there may be a relationship between low Pct and the severity of intraventricular hemorrhage. Considering the effect of erythrocyte mass on platelets, it may be more appropriate to evaluate Hct and Pct values together in considering the etiology of intraventricular hemorrhage.
