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
Introduction: The discard rate of blood services as a crucial quality metric for monitoring and enhancing blood safety within blood bank operations. This study investigated the prevalence and underlying causes of discarded blood and its associated components at a blood center in China. Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis examined data pertaining to discarded blood and its components from 2019 to 2022. Information was retrieved from the blood center's electronic blood information management system. Results: A total of 71,346 units of whole blood and blood components (representing a discard rate of 2.34%) were discarded. The discard rates exhibited variation across different blood components: whole blood (0.15%), red blood cells (2.24%), fresh frozen plasma (4.20%), frozen plasma (5.05%), cryoprecipitate antihemophilic factor (0.91%), platelets (0.33%), and washed red blood cells (0.03%). Statistical analysis revealed a significant association ( Conclusion: This study presents a comparative analysis of discard rates and their corresponding justifications within a single blood center in China. The findings contribute to the advancement of quality control measures for blood and its components within blood service operations.
