Donor InSight: characteristics and representativeness of a Dutch cohort study on blood and plasma donors.
Article in Vox sanguinis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesMore insight into donor health and behaviour may contribute to more efficient and focused strategies regarding donor care and management. Donor InSight (DIS) is a Dutch cohort study of blood and plasma donors. We aimed to outline the objectives and methods of DIS, describe the cohort, and compare it to the active Dutch donor population. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn 2007-2009 (DIS-I, n = 31 338) and 2012-2013 (DIS-II, 34 826, of whom 22 132 also participated in DIS-I) questionnaire data on demographics, donation, lifestyle, family composition, health and disease were collected. A second follow-up (DIS-III, n = 3046), including donors with differing haemoglobin trajectories, was completed in 2015-2016. DIS-III includes data on genetic determinants, iron and red cell indices. Representativeness of the DIS-I sample for the entire Dutch donor population was assessed by comparing characteristics of both.
resultsDonor InSight was initially set up because of a need for more detailed information and evidence as a basis for decision-making in blood banks. DIS-I sample is comparable to the total Dutch donor population in terms of age, body mass index, haemoglobin level, blood pressure, blood type and donation behaviour.
conclusionDonor InSight is a cohort study representative of the Dutch donor population. It provides evidence to support evidence-based decision making.
