A dual-center retrospective evaluation of 204 blood or plasma transfusions in 169 camelids.
Article in Journal of veterinary internal medicine, 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
backgroundTransfusions in camelid species are performed without evidence-based guidelines. Safe and recommended practices for administering blood products with maximal efficacy and minimal risk of reactions are needed. HYPOTHESIS/
objectivesTo describe the indications for, methods of, and outcomes associated with transfusions in camelids and to identify risk factors for transfusion reactions (TRs) and death. ANIMALS: Two hundred four transfusions performed in 169 camelids at 2 referral hospitals.
methodsA dual-center retrospective review of medical records from 2010 to 2024. Signalment, indication for transfusion, transfusion history, administration of premedication, presence of TRs, and survival to discharge were reviewed. Dose and rate of product administration were calculated. Data were described and analyzed with a generalized linear model.
resultsIn less than 1-month-old crias, the most common indication for plasma transfusion was management of failure of transfer of passive immunity. The overall TR rate was 12%, and presence of TRs resulted in a lower probability of survival to discharge (54.6%; 95%CI, 34.0%-73.6% vs 76.5%; 95%CI, 69.5%-82.3%, respectively; P = .033). There was no difference in probability of a TR with respect to administration of premedication, rate of transfusion administration, or previous transfusions (P ≥ .06). Changes to vital signs were the most common findings suggesting a TR. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Blood products can fulfill many therapeutic needs in the treatment of camelid species with a reasonable expectation of safety. A history of prior transfusions does not appear to significantly affect the future risk of a TR.
