Donor retention as a function of donor reactions to whole-blood and automated double red cell collections.
Article in Transfusion, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundAlthough reactions to whole-blood (WB) donation are known to decrease donor retention, potential effects of reactions to automated double red cell (2RBC) donation upon retention have not been investigated. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsThe authors investigated effects of donor status (first-time, experienced) and reactions (absent, present) upon retention of all male allogeneic WB and 2RBC donors (n = 45,296) donating within the American Red Cross Central Ohio Region during a 12-month period. Donor age, race, and status (first-time, experienced); phlebotomist's reaction rating; and phlebotomy procedure (WB, 2RBC) were collected for the initial donation by each donor. Dates of any donation attempts in the 12 months starting from the donor's first eligible date after the initial donation were also collected.
resultsOn average, WB donors were less likely to react and more likely to donate again and returned more quickly to donate than 2RBC donors, even after accounting for differential delays in eligibility. Reactions decreased the likelihood of repeat donation among all first-time donors regardless of initial phlebotomy procedure. Among experienced donors, however, reactions depressed retention of WB donors by 27.6 percent, whereas reactions lowered retention of 2RBC donors by just 3.6 percent.
conclusionAlthough 2RBC donors were more likely to react, first-time 2RBC donors were no more affected by reactions than first-time WB donors. Experienced WB donors suffered a larger drop in retention as a function of reactions, in fact, than did experienced donors who gave 2RBC donations. Potential reasons for this data pattern require further investigation.
