Blood donation among university students: practices, motivations, and barriers in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Avicenna journal of medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
contextBlood transfusion is an essential medical procedure conducted with various purposes to provide patients with blood needed. The procedure saves patients' lives, as blood cannot be manufactured artificially and can only be obtained from human blood sources.
aimsTo assess the awareness of, perceptions of, motivations regarding, and barriers to blood donation among a sample of Jazan University students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). SETTINGS AND
designAn observational cross-sectional study was conducted among the undergraduate students of Jazan University. MATERIALS AND
methodsStratified random sampling was used to collect information from 440 students, and a predesigned, structured questionnaire was used to collect data on the study variables. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Involved descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. SPSS was used for data analysis.
resultsThe prevalence of blood donation was 29.0% (95% CI, 25.0-33.3), significantly higher for males at 44.3% (95% CI, 38.3-50.4) than for females at 10.5% (95% CI, 7.3-16.0;
conclusionsThe prevalence of blood donation was found to be low, and students' knowledge regarding blood donation appeared to be lacking. The development of awareness programs among the university's students will address students' misconceptions about blood donation and encourage them to join donation campaigns.
