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

Introduction: The blood donation process is strictly regulated by law. The process includes the necessity of a medical history taken to determine if a donor is suitable to donate, which shall guarantee both donor and recipient safety. Supplementary screening for a limited number of infections is performed by antibody (HIV, HCV, syphilis) or antigen (HBV) tests or NAT (HIV, HCV, HBV). Case Presentation: With regard to a possible infection due to (sexual) risk behavior or foreign travel, blood donation facilities are predominantly dependent on information provided by the donor. This is especially true for malaria in nonendemic areas such as Europe. Transmission of malaria by a blood transfusion in a nonendemic country that led to fulminant septic shock and death of the patient happened. Discussion: From a legal perspective, the donor thus assumes a high level of responsibility with regard to the accuracy and completeness of the information provided on the donor questionnaire. Incorrect information may, as in this Austrian case reported, result in civil or criminal responsibility of the donor.
