Beyond family donors: building reliable emergency blood access in Somalia.
Article in African journal of emergency medicine : Revue africaine de la medecine d'urgence, 2026. 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
•Dependence on family or replacement donors can make access to emergency transfusion reactive rather than reliably available at the point of care, a problem directly relevant to trauma, obstetric haemorrhage, and urgent surgery in resource-constrained African settings.•Somalia-specific evidence shows that family donors can dominate local blood supply and that emergency blood transfusion services remain limited across surveyed hospitals, making reliable blood access an important emergency-care systems issue.•The correspondence proposes a practical shift from patient-triggered donor mobilisation toward regular voluntary donation and system readiness, with lessons relevant to Somalia and other African settings facing constrained blood-service capacity.
