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 AND

objectivesGranulocyte transfusions may benefit patients with neutropaenia and life-threatening infections unresponsive to antimicrobial therapies. Current aphaeresis-based granulocyte concentrate (GC) production requires donor stimulation and hydroxyethyl starch (HES), which raises safety and supply concerns. This study assessed the feasibility and quality of GCs derived from pooling 10 residual leukocyte units (RLUs) processed via the Reveos automated blood processing system. MATERIALS AND

methodsWhole blood (WB) from 10 ABO-compatible donors was processed using the Reveos system to obtain 10 mL RLUs. A modified platelet pooling device enabled sterile pooling of RLUs with added plasma. The final product was irradiated and analysed on days 0, 1 and 2 post-irradiation. Parameters assessed included cell counts, sterility, biochemical properties, viability, surface markers (CD15, CD10, CD62L and CD11b) and neutrophil functions: chemotaxis, phagocytosis, oxidative burst and H₂O₂ release.

resultsAll GCs (n = 10) met sterility criteria and contained a mean granulocyte dose of 0.95 ± 0.17 × 10

conclusionPooling of Reveos-derived RLUs is a feasible, HES-free strategy to produce viable and functional GCs over 24 h from processing and irradiation. This approach provides a readily available alternative to aphaeresis products that could potentially enhance transfusion coordination.
