Lipemic Plasma Identified Blood Donors: Triglyceride Variability and Exploratory Machine Learning Analysis.
Article in Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 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/
objectivesEarly detection of cardiometabolic irregularities is crucial for averting cardiovascular illness; however, demographic cohorts that consistently engage with healthcare systems like habitual blood donors are inadequately leveraged for metabolic monitoring.
methodsThis study performed lipid profiling and cardiovascular risk assessment among blood donors identified with visually lipemic plasma during routine screening, in order to explore metabolic variability within this selected donor subgroup. Of 13,818 screened donors, 160 with lipemic plasma were included, and multivariable and machine-learning analyses were restricted to 90 donors with complete clinical data.
resultsWe observed substantial variability in triglyceride levels, with males displaying higher and more dispersed values. Correlation analysis indicated that triglycerides were associated with BMI and composite cardiovascular risk metrics, while age was the strongest contributor to the calculated 10-year cardiovascular risk score. Using a Random Forest classifier, elevated triglyceride levels were predicted with an AUC of 0.86; however, given the limited sample size, this analysis should be interpreted as exploratory and proof-of-concept in nature.
conclusionsIn this selected subgroup of donors with lipemic plasma, clinically relevant hypertriglyceridemia was frequently observed. These findings suggest that routine donor data may provide opportunities for targeted metabolic monitoring, although the results cannot be generalized to the broader blood donor population. Further studies in larger and more representative cohorts are warranted.
