Cryopreservation of Platelets.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 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
Platelets are transfused to stop bleeding from trauma or during surgery, and to prevent bleeding that may occur in various diseases, including cancer, bone marrow failure, and chronic blood disorders due to low or dysfunctional platelets. The platelet supply is often unpredictable, leading to shortages in hospitals, blood centers, and the military. Cryopreservation offers a solution by extending platelet shelf-life and enabling stockpiling for emergencies, rare donor phenotypes, and use in remote locations. In this chapter, cryopreservation of platelets below -65°C using 5%-6% DMSO with reconstitution of thawed platelets in plasma is described. The procedure requires standard blood banking equipment and a -80°C freezer. Platelets are stored in a -80°C freezer, as liquid nitrogen storage is impractical. Cryopreserved platelets remain viable for up to 12 years when stored below -65°C. Thawing is straightforward, though resuspension in plasma or saline is required, and the shelf life after thawing is limited to 4-8 h.
