Factors Influencing Blood Donation Practice Among Health Care Providers of Public Hospitals in Bahir Dar City, North West Ethiopia: A Case Control Study.
Article in Journal of blood medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Blood donation is a technique in which blood is collected from a healthy individual for transfusion to someone else. WHO estimates that it is necessary to donate blood to 2% to 3% of the country's population to meet blood needs. However, blood donation remains challenging in developing countries. Objective: This study aimed to identify factors influencing blood donation practices among healthcare providers in public hospitals in Bahir Dar City. Methods: This institution-based unmatched case-control study was conducted in Bahir Dar City Public Hospitals from May 01 to May 25, 2022. Total sample size was 491 (123 cases and 368 controls) and then the study subject was selected by using simple random sampling technic and collect data through self-administered questionnaire. Bi-variable and multi-variable binary logistic regression analyses were used to determine the association between dependent and independent variables. Finally, the results are presented in charts and tables, and the AOR and CI are reported. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: Fear of anemia (adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 0.02; 95% CI 0.007-0.078), lack of opportunity (AOR: 0.42; 95% CI 0.22-0.83), lack of time (AOR: 0.03; 95% CI, 0.005-0.199), profession (AOR: 0.15; 95% CI, 0.05-0.42), aware of free medical checkup (AOR: 31.79; 95% CI 13.13-76.94), willingness to donate blood (AOR: 5.09; 95% CI 2.25-11.50), blood group type (AOR: 5.67; 95% CI 1.42-22.68), and higher work experience (AOR: 7.99; 95% CI 2.59-24.67) were found to be significantly associated with blood donation practice. Conclusion: This study revealed that multiple factors influenced the practice of blood donation among healthcare providers. Therefore, access to blood donation areas and emphasizing the importance of donor blood donation are important for facilitating blood donation.
