Transfusion medicine hackathon: Nurturing the innovative ideas to revolutionize voluntary blood donation.
Article in Asian journal of transfusion science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 AND
objectiveBlood transfusion is an essential component of health care. However, several issues can hamper the promotion and sustainability of voluntary blood donation programs. This article is about a hackathon in the field of transfusion medicine that was designed to stimulate original ideas to promote voluntary blood donation. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe transfusion medicine hackathon was conducted as a joint project of an educational institute, the Asian Association of Transfusion Medicine, and the Innovation Center. It was conducted in eight main phases, which included planning and preparation, choosing the problem statement, participant recruitment and registration, launch, and mentoring as the first steps. Participants presented their ideas in the ideation phase, and the top five teams were selected for the prototyping phase. Selection was based on innovation/originality (10 points), feasibility (10 points), and social impact (5 points). In the prototype phase, two teams were selected as winners and were awarded by the organizers.
resultsA total of 36 multidisciplinary teams representing various parts of India pitched innovative ideas. The majority have proposed new strategies for the retention of blood donors to maintain the donor pool and teams came up with novel ideas aimed at enhancing the overall blood donation experience. One of the winning teams completed the project and launched the product.
conclusionHealth-care hackathons promote interdisciplinary education and innovation. This is a first-of-its-kind effort from the field of transfusion medicine to explore a hackathon platform to promote voluntary blood donation.
