Investigation of the Prevalence of Non-ABO Blood Group Antigens in Infertile Women Referred to University Hospitals in Iran: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Infertility nowadays is considered a disease and a significant global health issue. Despite extensive research, the cause of approximately 15% of infertility cases remains unknown. Additionally, despite the high financial and emotional costs associated with infertility treatment, there is no single universal method that definitively leads to pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby. This study investigates the prevalence of minor blood group antigens in infertile and fertile women in Iran, contributing to the understanding of blood group distributions in this population. Methods: Blood samples from 60 infertile women and 65 fertile women were analyzed for antigens in the Rh, MNS, P1PK, Kell, Duffy, Kidd, and Lewis blood group systems using manual serological agglutination tests and gel card methods. Finally, the results were analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 27. Results: The frequencies of the studied antigens were as follows: M (83.3%), N (55%), S (60%), Jka (75%), Jkb (66.7%), P1(76.7%), Fya (66.7%), Fyb (73.3%), Lea (16.7%), Leb (58.3%), C (75%), c (75%), Conclusion: This study provides valuable data on the distribution of minor blood group antigens in Iranian women, informing transfusion medicine and healthcare strategies. While no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups, these findings enhance our understanding of blood group prevalence in this population.
