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

introductionData on the prevalence of clinically significant antigens (Rh, Kell, Kidd, Duffy, MNSs, Lewis, P and Lutheran) among the Indian donor population is sparse.

objectiveThis prospective study was aimed at determining the prevalence of 21 clinically significant antigens for the first time in the South Indian donor population.

methodA total of 672 regular O group blood donors were enrolled for Rh (C,c, E, e) and Kell (K) antigens typing. Of these, 188 donors were typed for other clinically significant antigens (k, Kp

resultsAntigen frequencies were expressed in percentages. In our study, R1R1 and rr were the most common phenotypes among D+ and D- donors, respectively. Among the Rh antigens, the e antigen was expressed by 97.5% and 100% of D+ and D- donors, respectively. The K antigen was found in only 0.15% of donors. In the Duffy and Kidd blood group system, Fy (a+b+) and Jk (a+b+) were the most frequent phenotypes, respectively. In the MNSs blood group system, M+N+ and S-s+ were the most common phenotypes reported. The Le (a-b+) was found to be the phenotype with the highest prevalence in the Lewis blood group system. The Lu (a-b+) was the only phenotype found in the Lutheran blood group system.

conclusionKnowledge regarding the prevalence of antigens in a given population is essential in developing cost-effective in-house panels and a rare donor registry comprising donors typed negative for a high-frequency antigen or a combination of common multiple antigens.
