Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors' Experiences of Information and Side-Effects During the First Year After Donation-A Swedish National Study.

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
The aim was to describe hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donors' experiences focusing on information and side effects during the first year after donation. Our prospective Swedish cohort study with adult HSC donors was performed from 2019 to 2022, with questionnaires at four time points from before until 12 months after donation. 173 unrelated and 68 related donors participated, and the majority donated peripheral blood stem cells. All but one rated their donation experience as good or very good. At least one side effect was reported by 83% of participants. Six donors (2.5%) experienced either numerous side effects, at least one severe side effect, or prolonged side effects. Satisfaction with information was lower among donors having severe side effects and bone marrow donors. Overall satisfaction with the donation was lower among donors having severe side effects and unrelated donors. Donors were generally satisfied with the pre-donation information. Most experienced side effects that resolved within 2 weeks, which strengthens the case for unchanged donor follow-up 1 month after donation, with individualized follow-up for donors with persistent symptoms. Enhanced information regarding the risk of more severe or prolonged side effects appears warranted, and its effect on donor satisfaction should be evaluated.
