Neutrophil-reactive autoantibodies in blood donors: Can we expect TRALI?
Article in Transfusion, 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
backgroundTransfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a clinical condition characterized by acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema during or after transfusion. Despite several mitigation strategies, TRALI remains a leading cause of transfusion-related deaths. Tests on blood donors involved in TRALI, apart from leukocyte/endothelial reactive alloantibodies, can also reveal the presence of neutrophil autoantibodies. Here, we ask the question whether these autoantibodies could play a role in the development of TRALI. MATERIALS AND
methodsSera (n = 15) from donors involved in TRALI and not containing alloantibodies against human neutrophil antigens (HNAs) and human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) were collected if their serological characterization was suggestive for the presence of neutrophil-reactive autoantibodies. Sera (n = 12) were suitable for the study. Their ability to bind complement, to activate neutrophils, and to disrupt the endothelial barrier using albumin influx through an endothelial monolayer in a transwell chamber in the presence and absence of neutrophils was investigated.
resultsNone of the AIN sera, but 2/12 TRALI sera, induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) in neutrophils. Both of these TRALI sera induced endothelial barrier permeability in the presence, but not in the absence, of neutrophils. These two sera did not activate complement.
conclusionAutoantibodies against neutrophils present in transfused blood components appear to be capable of contributing to TRALI in selected but not in all investigated cases, based on their ability to activate neutrophil ROS and induce endothelial cell permeability in vitro. Further analysis is required to understand the potential functional effects of neutrophil autoantibodies in TRALI.
