Physiological and hormonal stress response during blood donation in healthy voluntary donors.
Article in Asian journal of transfusion science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to assess the physiological and hormonal stress response during blood donation in healthy voluntary donors.
backgroundBlood donation is a stressful event which can cause adverse reactions in this altruistic attempt. This can lead to a reduction in the precious donor population, and there are very less studies on levels of physiological (heart rate and blood pressure [BP]) and hormonal stress in the blood donation. Our attempt is to understand whether there is really a quantifiable physiological and/or hormonal stress during the process of blood donation and whether responses differed in terms of between age, gender, and experience of donors in the blood donation. MATERIALS AND
methodsRandomly selected eligible seventy whole blood donors were selected for the study after obtaining written informed consent. They were medically assessed before selecting and saliva samples were collected just before needle insertion for assessment of salivary cortisol levels. A 2 ml blood sample for serum cortisol assessment from the blood bag tubing at the end of the donation was also collected.
resultsStress indicators during donation are compared between different age groups as well as experience of blood donation, and no association is found between them. BP is found to have an association to gender, and salivary cortisol levels were found to be higher in 69 out of 70 blood donors.
conclusionSalivary cortisol can be used as a tool for acute stress assessment in blood donation. The response patterns differ between age, women and men, and first-time versus experienced donors.
