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

Cryopreservation is a well-established method for extending platelet shelf-life and addressing supply shortages. Traditionally, this involves dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a cryoprotective agent (CPA), but recent studies suggest that using controlled rate freezing (CRF) with only NaCl may offer a less toxic alternative. To explore further optimization, this study assessed whether adding 10% choline chloride-glycerol, a deep eutectic solvent (DES), could enhance platelet quality in CRF/NaCl cryopreservation. Ten double-dose buffy coat platelet units were divided into test (DES-treated) and control (NaCl-only) groups. After DES exposure (10% for 20 min), all units were prepared using the NaCl protocol and frozen at -80 °C with CRF equipment, then stored for over 90 days. Upon thawing and reconstitution in AB plasma, no significant differences were observed in platelet content post-thaw between control and test units (255 ± 43 vs. 257 ± 41 × 10
