Ethnicity, length of time on the register and sex predict donor availability at the confirmatory typing stage.
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Despite over 20 million unrelated donors being listed worldwide, donor attrition at the confirmatory typing (CT) stage of donor acquisition is a key source of delay. Anthony Nolan undertook a study of CT requests from 2010 to 2011 to identify factors associated with attrition. Of 7541 CT requests, 38.2% were cancelled for donor reasons. Of these, 19.4% were personal, 34.1% medical, 36% no contact, 7.9% emigrated and 2.6% others. African (odds ratio (OR) 2.78, P<0.001), African-Caribbean (OR 3.07, P<0.001), Asian (OR 2.65, P<0.001), Jewish (OR 1.54, P=0.009) and Mediterranean (OR=2.38, P<0.001) donors were more likely not to be available compared to Caucasian donors. Female donors were also more likely not to be available (OR=1.32, P<0.001): primarily due to pregnancy. Older donors were less likely to be available in univariate analysis, but this association was not significant after controlling for other factors. Blood donors and those recruited within the past five years had lower rates of attrition. Accumulation of additional attrition-associated characteristics for a given donor was associated with progressively greater odds of attrition (OR 1.99, 2.52, 3.4 and 5.53, respectively, for 1, 2, 3 and 4 risk factors, P<0.001). Donor registries must develop evidence-driven strategies to recruit and retain the most reliable donors.
