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

Bombay blood group is a rare type that was initially identified in the city of Bombay, India. It is characterized by the presence of serum antibodies anti-A, anti-B, and anti-H, which can cause agglutination in all blood groups within the ABO system. The clinical importance of the Bombay blood group lies in its inability to receive transfusions from other blood groups. In this case report, we present a case of a young male who was initially misdiagnosed as having an O phenotype, resulting in a hemolytic transfusion reaction. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with rare blood phenotypes.
