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

Homologous blood transfusion (HBT) doping, using donor red blood cells (RBCs) to enhance oxygen capacity, remains a persistent challenge for doping control laboratories, especially in specific populations. Current RBC antigen-based flow cytometric detection (double population, DP) has limited sensitivity in genetically homogeneous populations due to common phenotypic overlap. This study aimed to enhance HBT detection by optimizing population-specific RBC antigen panels and incorporating complementary platelet-derived human leukocyte antigen (HLA) markers. Based on antigen-negative frequency, M, N, and Le
