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

ABO (ABH) antigen expression on red cell antigens and secretion of ABH substances in body fluids are governed by different genes. The presence or absence of the Secretor gene is the basis of secretor status positivity and negativity, respectively. Determination of the secretor status has an essential role in the medical field. It was a prospective observational study to determine the association of secretor and nonsecretor status with Lewis phenotyping among voluntary blood donors. It was conducted from Jan 2020 to December 2021 at the Department of Transfusion Medicine in a tertiary care hospital in South India. Among 318 donors, secretors were 229 (72%), and nonsecretors were 89 (28%). The Lewis phenotype was consistent with secretor status, i.e., All Le (a-b +) were secretors accounting for 213 (66.9%), and All Le(a + b-) were nonsecretors accounting for 80(25.1%)donors. In the Le(a-b-) phenotype, 16(5.0%) were secretors with Se positivity but defective Lewis expression, and 9(2.8%) were nonsecretors with sese. Detection of Lewis phenotype indirectly reflects the blood group secretor status. Hence, in case of discrepancies in ABO blood groups, Bombay and Para Bombay groups, testing for Le(b) confirmation will be useful.
