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

This hospital-based study assessed attitudes, knowledge, and practices regarding blood donation in Kabul City, Afghanistan, focusing on whether demographic factors influence donor behavior. Through a hospital-based approach, using a survey questionnaire, the study examined donors' attitudes, knowledge of blood donation, and practice of blood donation. The study was conducted at Blossom Healthcare Center in Kabul City, Afghanistan, from August 1, 2024, to February 30, 2025. A total of 66 people, who were above the age of 18, participated in the study. Of the 66 participants, 66.7% (44) were male. There was no significant association between the level of education, age, and blood donation practice. Of the 66 participants, 42.4% (28) had a history of blood donation, and the percentage of blood donation was lower in women. Restrictions on women's independent mobility may negatively affect their blood donation practice. In conclusion, this hospital-based study explored Afghans' attitudes and knowledge toward blood donation in Kabul City, Afghanistan. We noticed that the blood donation practice did not positively correlate with the participants' positive attitude toward blood donation.
