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

Lack of availability of blood for transfusion is associated with significant mortality rates across the world. Blood collection and storage can be managed either in centralised or decentralised facilities. India has a decentralised blood bank network supply chain, which results in blood wastage due to the lack of data to decide on the quality and suitability of blood for transfusion. In this study, we introduce a temperature-monitored blood bank supply chain that tracks the temperature log of blood from collection to delivery. An algorithm was developed according to the World Health Organization guidelines (
