Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. 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: Ensuring a continuous supply of safe blood is critical for effective healthcare. Educating students about blood donation can improve the number of voluntary donors. Understanding the knowledge and attitudes of first-time donors is key to fostering a culture of blood donation. Materials and Methods: This descriptive survey utilized a structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge and attitudes of 265 students from selected colleges. Reliability tests yielded R-values of 0.96 for knowledge and 0.95 for attitudes. Results: Of the 265 students, 58.9% had poor knowledge, 26% had average knowledge, and 15.1% had good knowledge. Attitudes were more favorable, with 55.8% showing the most favorable attitude. The correlation coefficient between knowledge and attitude was 0.16, indicating a weak but positive correlation. Conclusion: Despite low knowledge levels, most students exhibited favorable attitudes toward blood donation. Targeted educational interventions could improve both knowledge and donation rates among students.
