The Swedish Scandinavian donations and transfusions database (SCANDAT3-S) - 50 years of donor and recipient follow-up.
Article in Transfusion, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
backgroundThe two previous versions of the Scandinavian donations and transfusions (SCANDAT) databases, encompassing data on blood donors, blood components, transfusions, and transfused patients linked to national health registers in Sweden and Denmark up until 2012, have been used to study donor health, disease transmission, the role of donor characteristics, and more. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsHere we describe the creation of the Swedish portion of the third iteration of SCANDAT - SCANDAT3-S - with follow-up from 1968 to the end of 2017, resulting in up to 50 years of uninterrupted follow-up for donors and recipients. The database now also includes non-transfused non-donors with a blood typing result, increased temporal resolution for transfusions, and linkages to laboratory and drug prescription data.
resultsAfter data cleaning, the database contained 23 579 863 donation records, 21 383 317 transfusion records, and 8 071 066 unique persons with valid identification. In total, the database offers 28 638 436 person-years of follow-up for donors, 13 582 350 person-years of follow-up for transfusion recipients, and 65 613 639 person-years of follow-up for non-recipient non-donors, with possibility for future extension. Additionally, the database includes 167 820 412 dispense records for prescribed drugs and 316,338,442 laboratory test results. Since the latest update in 2012, >99.9% of all donations were traceable to a donor with valid identification, and >97% of all transfusions to a recipient with valid identification.
conclusionWith extended follow-up and more clinical detail, the Swedish portion of the third and latest iteration of the SCANDAT database should allow for more comprehensive analysis of donation and transfusion-related research questions.
