Principles of bone and tissue banking in Saudi Arabia: 10-year experience report.
Article in Cell and tissue banking, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 role of bone and tissue banking is well known to meet the ever-growing need of bone and soft tissue allografts. Strict guidelines have been established to ensure high standard and minimize complications related to bone transplantation.
methodsThe Bone Bank in King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC), affiliated with the Saudi Council of Organ Transplantation, was inaugurated in 2010, and it has since been an integral part of the KFSH&RC organ retrieval team. The bank has a very strict regulations which were described.
resultsBetween January 2010 and January 2020, there were 143 multi-organ donors (mean age: 36 years, range: 24-55 years). The total number of allografts used was 2191 which were utilized in 1047 patients.
conclusionsIn this paper, we present our 10-year experience of administrative structure, donor and recipient testing protocols, allograft retrieval, processing procedures, and the internal audit safety arrangements. The utilization of allografts in various pathologies such as revision joint replacement, spine surgery, and tumor surgery is discussed with our results over a 10-year period.
