Pre-Transfusion Platelet Counts and Bleeding in Very Low Birth Weight Infants.
Article in Research square, 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
Objective: Platelet transfusion thresholds for very low birth weight (VLBW, <1500g) infants vary widely, and the role of bleeding on platelet transfusion thresholds is unknown. Study Design: This observational birth cohort study of VLBW infants born in 7 hospitals across the US examined pre-transfusion platelet counts in infants with and without bleeding who received at least 1 platelet transfusion in the first 3 weeks of life using mixed effect linear regression models. Results: Of the 210 transfused infants, most (76%) had bleeding; intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) was the most common (61%) bleeding type. Pre-transfusion platelet counts were not different among infants with or without bleeding diagnoses (56.3 vs 58.5×10 Conclusion: Infants with or without bleeding diagnoses had similar pre-transfusion platelet counts; infants with severe IVH had higher pre-transfusion platelet counts.
