1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Whole blood (WB) resuscitation is a critical component of trauma care. Leukoreduction (LR) is commonly employed to mitigate transfusion-related risks. We aimed to understand the effects of LR on the functionality and metabolism of various components in refrigerated WB and provide new strategies for WB application in trauma treatment. Methods: Ten bags of WB (400 mL ± 10%) were split into paired samples with and without LR and stored at 4°C ± 2 °C for 35 days. Storage-lesion tests were performed every 7 days from the day of blood collection. Descriptive heatmaps and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) were used to characterize global patterns of indicator change, while exploratory mediation models and penalized regression (LASSO) were applied to investigate pathways and rank variables associated with clot strength. Results: Descriptive heatmaps and exploratory WGCNA analyses suggested two distinct temporal patterns: platelet-related and viscoelastic indicators decreased progressively, whereas metabolic, hemolytic, and electrolyte indicators increased over time. On Day 0 (immediately after leukoreduction), leukoreduced whole blood (LR-WB) had a markedly lower platelet count than paired nonleukoreduced whole blood group (NLR-WB) (23.40 ± 2.00 vs. 185.20 ± 2.93 *10 Conclusion: LR was associated with early platelet-driven hemostatic impairment, and storage time appeared to progressively shift injury mechanisms toward RBC membrane instability, hemolysis, and metabolic stress. RBCs' PS exposure and FHb can serve as candidate indicators associated with clot strength.
