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

Purpose: The Duffy (FY) is considered one of the clinically significant blood group systems. Anti-Fy Methods: A total of 25611 blood donors were enrolled in this study from January 2020 to May 2024, at the blood bank center of King Abdulaziz Medical City-Western Region (KAMC-WR), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Serotyping was conducted to identify Fy Results: The majority of the blood donors were Saudi Arabians (n = 21,496, 83.93%), while the remaining donors were non-Saudis (n = 4115, 16.07%). The frequencies of Fy Conclusion: The prevalence of the FY antigens and phenotypes is reported among blood donors. The Fy(a-b-) phenotype was the most widespread among Saudis and non-Saudis. It is crucial to include the FY antigens in the transfusion screening panel especially for both blood donors as well as patients especially the transfusion-dependent patients.
