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: Erythrocyte alloantibodies and autoantibodies complicate transfusion. However, the prevalence of erythrocyte alloimmunization and autoimmunization has not been estimated in the Chinese pediatric population. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of erythrocyte alloimmunization and autoimmunization in the Chinese pediatric population with the aim of developing a reasonable transfusion management policy in children from China. Methods: This study included 30,603 pediatric inpatients who were admitted to three tertiary hospitals in central China from May 2020 to October 2022. Antibody screening was carried out with a three-cell panel by column agglutination technology, and samples with positive screening were analyzed for antibody specificity with a 16-cell identification panel. Clinical details of the patients were collected to identify associations with antibody formation. Results: The alloimmunization rate was 0.55% (169/30,603), and the autoimmunization rate was 0.14% (43/30,603). Alloantibodies comprised 80.09% of the antibodies. The most frequent alloantibodies were anti-M (58.77%), anti-E (9.48%), and anti-P1 (4.27%). Autoantibodies comprised 19.91% of antibodies. Age ( Conclusion: Repeat pre-transfusion testing for infants less than 4 months of age can be omitted for no risk of antibody formation. MNS system antibodies, especially anti-M, are prominent in younger children, and this decreases with age. Provision of extended phenotype-matched transfusion for Rh system antigens, especially antigen E, is necessary in children to control erythrocyte alloimmunization. The presence of antibodies with high evanescence rates in the pediatric population suggests the pressing need for nationwide shared transfusion records to avoid hemolytic transfusion reactions in children.
