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 automated immunohematology analyzer IH-500 (Bio-rad, Cressier FR, Switzerland) was developed recently for blood bank tests and this study evaluated performance of IH-500. 200 blood samples for ABO/Rh typing were collected. ABO/Rh typing results measured by IH-500 was compared with conventional manual methods. Antibody screening tests were performed with 100 samples using both IH-500 and the Ortho BioVue System, and results were compared. Antibody identification tests were conducted on 5 samples using both IH-500 and the Ortho BioVue System and results were compared. Crossmatching was performed with both IH-500 and conventional manual tube method using 4 patient serum samples and 10 blood cell donors, and 40 results were compared. Isoagglutinin titer of anti-A and anti-B was determined in 10 samples using both IH-500 and the automated analyzer Ortho AutoVue Innova and concordance rates were obtained. The concordance rates of ABO/Rh typing, antibody screening test, antibody identification test, and crossmatching between comparative manual methods and the IH-500 were all 100%. In the evaluation of isoagglutinin titer, 8 (80.0%) results out of 10 samples (80%) showed results within ± 1 titer between the IH-500 and the AutoVue Innova, which indicates the concordance rates of 80.0%. IH-500 reported results with two titers lower than Ortho AutoVue Innova in two samples. The IH-500 demonstrated good concordance rates and provided reliable results compared to comparative manual methods in the blood bank testing. IH-500 would be useful as a possible replacement for conventionally performed manual methods in blood bank testing.
