Blood Supply and Demand in Korea: What is in Store for the Future?
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 2020. 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
purposePresently, Korea is facing new challenges associated with an imbalance in blood supply and demand. The purpose of this study was to examine trends in blood supply and demand in Korea over the past 10 years through 2018 and to propose what to prepare in the future. MATERIALS AND
methodsAge demographics in Korea were analyzed using data from the Statistics Korea. Blood donation and blood supply data were analyzed using Blood Services Statistics 2018 by the Korean Red Cross. Blood transfusion data from hospitals in 2018 were obtained from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.
resultsIn 2018, 2883270 whole blood and apheresis units were collected in Korea. The Korean Red Cross supplied 4277762 blood components to 2491 hospitals. The overall blood donation rate was 5.6%, and the most frequent donors were young male donors. Leukoreduced red blood cells (RBCs) constituted 25% of all RBCs used, and 40% of all platelets were supplied by single-donor platelets. The self-sufficiency rate of domestic plasma with which to produce plasma-derived medicinal products was 68.7% in 2018. Blood use was the most frequent among patients aged 70-79 years.
conclusionBlood management in Korea is changing rapidly due to a low birth rate, rapid aging, and an increase in severely ill patients who require most of the blood supply. Therefore, future plans to promote donation at a national level and optimal use of blood in hospitals is necessary.
