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
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the phenotypic distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups in a geographically diverse cohort of Mexican outpatients. Patients and Methods: A clinic-based, retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using anonymized electronic health records (EHRs) from 1,820,793 individuals aged 1 to 100 years who underwent clinically or administratively indicated ABO and Rh blood typing at Salud Digna clinics across all 32 Mexican states between January 2023 and July 2025. All ABO and Rh determinations were performed by forward typing using either the fully automated Galileo Echo immunohematology analyzer or by the conventional slide method using commercial anti-A, anti-B, and anti-D antisera. Demographic and blood group distributions were summarized using descriptive statistical methods, and sex-specific distributions were evaluated. Results: Among the 1,820,793 individuals analyzed (median age: 29 years), 1,193,587 (65.6%) were female and 627,206 (34.4%) were male. Blood group O was the most frequent ABO phenotype (65.99%), whereas group AB was the least common (1.50%). For the Rh system, 3.39% of individuals exhibited the Rh(d) phenotype. The overall phenotypic distribution was as follows: O Rh(D) (64.01%), A Rh(D) (23.24%), B Rh(D) (7.92%), O Rh(d) (1.98%), AB Rh(D) (1.43%), A Rh(d) (1.02%), B Rh(d) (0.32%), and AB Rh(d) (0.07%). Notably, the AB Rh(d) phenotype was not identified in Oaxaca. From a geographical perspective, a clear north-to-south gradient was observed, with increasing frequencies of the O Rh(D) phenotype toward the southern states, accompanied by declining trends observed for the remaining ABO and Rh phenotypes. Conclusion: Blood group O was the most frequent ABO phenotype, whereas the Rh(d) phenotype was relatively uncommon. The overall distribution patterns were largely consistent across the states. These findings provide a valuable resource for health authorities and blood services to support blood inventory management, inform region-specific donor recruitment strategies for less common blood group phenotypes, and optimize planning for blood transfusion services, organ transplantation, and maternal healthcare.
