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

backgroundAs is widely known, blood group antigens are found in varying proportions in individuals of different races and geographical places. The aim of this study is to determine and compare the distribution of red blood cell (RBC) phenotypes in blood donors between the major ethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak based on the Malaysian population. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 1213 voluntary blood donors were randomly recruited among those who donated in the National Blood Centre and 10 other different blood banks in state hospitals or their mobile blood donation sessions from January 2021 to December 2021. All donors were typed for blood group systems: ABO, Rh, Kidd, Duffy, MNS, and Kell by automated system using the Galileo Neo Analyser.

resultsThe comparison of the prevalence of the RBC phenotypes among the different ethnic groups as analyzed by Fisher's exact test, showed significant differences (

conclusionThe mapping of RBC phenotypes among major ethnic groups in blood donors in Peninsular, Sabah, and Sarawak, Malaysia, can aid in strengthening the database for the Rare Blood Donor Registry based on the Malaysian population. This study's finding can also be used to expedite the provision of antigen-negative blood for the transfusion of patients with unexpected red cells antibodies. This will improve the quality and effectiveness of transfusion services in Malaysia.
