Association of blood group and red blood cell transfusion with the incidence of antepartum, peripartum and postpartum venous thromboembolism.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) associated with pregnancy is well-known and prophylaxis guidelines consider a number of risk factors. Although non-O blood group and red blood cell (RBC) transfusion are known to be associated with VTE risk, their contribution to pregnancy-associated VTE has received little attention. This study was conducted in a population-based cohort of 1,000,997 deliveries to women with no prior history of VTE or thrombophilia. The independent contributions of ABO blood type and RBC transfusion to the risks of antepartum, peripartum and postpartum VTE are reported as odds ratios adjusted for risk factors that are considered in current prophylaxis guidelines and other potential confounders. Compared with type O, A and B blood types have higher risk of antepartum and postpartum VTE, with odds ratios between 1.4 and 1.8. Transfusion around delivery has the largest increased risks and a dose-response effect, with adjusted odds ratios from 2.60 (1.71-3.97) for 1-2 units to 3.55 (1.32-9.55) for more than 5 units. ABO blood type and RBC transfusion were found to be independent risk factors for pregnancy-associated VTE. Further research is required to understand the underlying mechanisms and to conduct a risk-benefit assessment of the small volumes of RBCs transfused around delivery.
