Distribution of ABO and Rhesus Types in the Northern Asir Region in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Journal of blood medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Background and Objectives: The ABO blood group system is used to denote the presence of one, both, or neither of the A and B antigens on erythrocytes. In humans, this is the most important of the 43 different blood type (or group) classification systems currently recognized. Distribution of ABO and Rh among the Saudi population could affect many factors such as blood transfusion, prognosis, resistance and susceptibility to diseases. The impetus of this study was to develop an understanding of the distribution of the ABO and Rh types of healthy volunteer blood donors in the northern Asir region of Saudi Arabia, comparing the findings to similar studies. Understanding the frequency of different blood types in different populations is imperative. Subjects and Methods: This study was performed during the period of January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, using samples from 4167 voluntary subjects obtained from the blood bank of the King Abdullah Hospital, Bisha. Commercially provided anti-A, anti-B and anti-D antibodies were used for the standard blood grouping procedure. Results: The findings in this study showed that O was the most prominent ABO blood group, whereas AB was the least so. The frequency of the blood type A was the second highest, followed by the blood group B, whereas Rh positivity was more common than Rh negativity. Conclusion: O+ > A+ > B+ > O-> AB+> A-> B- > AB- was found to be the order of blood group frequency in the current study.
