Prevalence and distribution of serological characteristics of weak ABO subgroups in the Chinese population.

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
objectivesThis study aimed to determine the true frequency of weak ABO subgroups and to investigate the serological characteristics of various subgroup alleles in the Chinese population.
methodsA total of 2,945,643 blood samples were collected from January 2009 to December 2017. After initial screening and re-examination using automatic blood group analyzers, all ABO-discrepant samples were confirmed by standard serological analysis and molecular detection by DNA sequencing. The true frequency of weak ABO subgroups was determined by the number of ABO subgroup donors and the missed detection rate. The ABO antigen expressions corresponding to subgroup alleles were analyzed by the agglutination intensity of red blood cells.
resultsThe detection rate of ABO subgroups was 0.031 % (927/2,945,643). Considering the missed detection rate (27.81 %), the true frequency of ABO subgroups in the Chinese population was 0.044 %. The three most common genetic variations among blood donors in Shanghai were BA.04, BW.12 and BA.02. BW.03 showed the weakest B antigen expression (6.00 ± 1.97) and B
conclusionMany ABO subgroups were missed. BA.04 was found to be the most common subgroup allele in the Chinese population. Different ABO subgroup alleles exhibit different ABO antigen expression patterns.
