Embracing complexity in transfusion research.
Review in Vox sanguinis, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Complexity science investigates how complex systems behave and how we interact with them. Its implementation in clinical transfusion research is limited, even though human cells, organ systems, bodies, hospitals and blood supply systems are all examples of complex systems. Complexity science can help us to better understand the systems we study using novel and existing research methods. It also highlights that there is always unpredictability in complex systems, challenging us to both accept and cope with this uncertainty. This review provides a brief introduction of complex systems, explores why many transfusion-related research questions should be viewed through the lens of complexity and discusses how we can apply this perspective to transfusion research.
