1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Recommendations for the screening of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) advise taking a selective approach in using the direct antiglobulin test (DAT) for mothers with blood group O or RhD-negative. This study assessed the relation of DAT results to maternal and neonatal blood groups and evaluated the risk of HDN. A retrospective analysis of all healthy newborns admitted during 2018 was performed. Of 1463 newborns, 4.4% had a positive DAT. There were 541 (37%) maternal-neonatal pairs with ABO incompatibility, most commonly born to mothers with blood group O. The cohort of neonates born to mothers with blood group O was divided into three groups: the O-A and O-B groups and the O-O group as a control. The DAT was positive in 59 (8.3%) neonates; most were in the O-B group (49.2%), whereas 13.6% were in the control group (
