ABO Incompatibility between the Mother and Fetus Does Not Protect against Anti-Human Platelet Antigen-1a Immunization by Pregnancy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
(1) Background: ABO blood group incompatibility between the mother and fetus protects against anti-D immunization by pregnancy. The possible role of ABO incompatibility in protecting against anti-human platelet antigen-1a immunization is unclear. (2) Methods: This study retrospectively screened 817 families (mother-father-neonate trios) of suspected fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia for inclusion. ABO genotypes were determined in 118 mother-child pairs with confirmed alloimmune thrombocytopenia due to anti-HPA-1a antibodies, and 522 mother-child pairs served as the control group. The expression of blood group antigen A on platelets was determined in 199 consecutive newborns by flow cytometry and compared with adult controls. (3) Results: ABO incompatibility between mother and fetus did not protect against anti-human platelet antigen-1a immunization by pregnancy. ABO blood groups of mothers and/or fetuses were not associated with the severity of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. The expression pattern of blood group A antigens on the platelets of newborns mirrored that of adults, albeit on a lower level. Blood group A antigen was detected on a subpopulation of neonatal platelets, and some newborns revealed high platelet expression of A determinants on all platelets (type II high-expressers). (4) Conclusion: The lack of a protective effect of ABO incompatibility between mother and fetus against anti-human platelet antigen-1a immunization by pregnancy may indicate that fetal platelets are not the cellular source by which the mother is immunized.
