Implementation of a regional rare donor registry in India.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: In an ethnically diverse country like India, establishing a national rare donor registry is a massive challenge. We aimed to establish a regional rare donor registry at our center by screening the local donor population for rare phenotypes. Methods: Serological testing of O blood group donors was done using monoclonal antisera from Bio-Rad for 23 different blood group antigens, which include Rh subgroups (C,cE,e), Kell (K,k, Kp Results: A total of 521 donors with blood group O, meeting the inclusion criteria among a total of 23567 were phenotyped for minor blood group antigens. Out of these, 85.6% (n = 446) were Rh D positive, and 14.4% (n = 75) were Rh D negative. The male-to-female ratio was 9:1. We had identified eight rare phenotypes in category-I and 18 rare phenotypes in Category-II according to the definition adopted in our study. We have noticed a significant decrease in turnaround time in providing rare blood to patients after implementing the registry. Conclusion: This is a first-of-its-kind rare donor registry established in South India. Establishing a national rare donor registry is the need of the hour in India.
