Genotyping of Dombrock blood group system in blood donors from Saudi Arabia: A single-center study.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo establish the frequency of Dombrock (DO) blood group genotypes in Western Saudi Arabians and to compare the findings with other populations in the 1000 genomes database.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2018 and February 2019. A total of 440 blood samples in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tubes were collected from unrelated Saudi Arabian blood donors from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Deoxyribonucleic acid was extracted, followed by an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction for DO*01 and DO*02 alleles (
resultsThe DO allele frequencies for blood donors from western Saudi Arabia were 0.432 for DO*01 and 0.568 for DO*02. The DO genotype frequencies were 0.182 for DO*01/01, 0.318 for DO*02/02, and 0.5 for DO*01/02. The DO genotype frequencies were similar to Europeans, Americans, and South Asians but significantly different from the genotype frequencies of Africans and East Asians reported in the 1000 genomes database.
conclusionDombrock genotype frequencies in the Western Saudi Arabian population were different from Africans and East Asians but not from Europeans, Americans, and South Asians. This study contributes to a genotyped blood donor database and may advance transfusion safety for patients in western Saudi Arabia.
