Rationale, development and feasibility of a national prehospital transfusion registry.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 2026. 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
Background: Out-of-hospital blood transfusion (OHBT) is an emerging practice for the management of hemorrhagic shock following trauma. The Canadian Prehospital and Transport Transfusion (CAN-PATT) network aims to standardize OHBT practices and assess the feasibility of linking out-of-hospital care with in-hospital outcomes through a national registry. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who received OHBT through an air ambulance program between September 2021 and July 2024 and were transported to one of two regional trauma centers. Prehospital data from the air ambulance database were linked using indirect identifiers to hospital data from the trauma registries and manually reviewed charts. The primary outcome was the percentage of prehospital and in-hospital records that could be successfully linked. Continuous variables were summarized as means/standard deviations or medians/interquartile ranges, and categorical variables as counts and frequencies. Results: There were 96 patients who received an OHBT during the study period; 90 were transported to a participating regional trauma center and 6 died prior to transport. Of the 90 patients, 82 (91 %) were successfully linked (Site 1: 36/39; Site 2: 46/51) between the air ambulance database and hospital trauma registries using indirect identifiers (age, sex, date and time of transport). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility of linking prehospital and in-hospital records for OHBT recipients, achieving a 91.1 % linkage rate. Future work should aim to incorporate trip numbers and missing variables into hospital registries to support the establishment of a national OHBT registry to enhance prehospital trauma care.
