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

To assess the awareness, perception, and practices of health science students towards blood donation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study was done among the undergraduate medical, dental, physiotherapy, and audiology, speech and learning pathology students in May 2021. A self-administered questionnaire designed using Google Doc was used for data collection. Out of the 461 participants, only 171(37.1%) knew that Coronavirus was not transmitted through blood transfusion. Only 125(27.1%) participants knew that a minimum of 14 days is required before a donor who tested positive for COVID-19 can donate blood. As many as 339(73.5%) participants expressed their willingness to donate blood during the current pandemic. Having donated blood in the past (
