Association of HPA Genotypes w ith Platelet Apheresis Donation Frequency and Yield Among Chinese Donors: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of blood medicine, 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: Human platelet antigens (HPA) are clinically significant in transfusion refractoriness, but whether HPA genotypes are associated with cumulative donation frequency or apheresis yield remains unknown. Methods: We genotyped 1,242 platelet apheresis donors from Harbin, China for eight HPA systems (HPA-1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -15, and -21). Outcomes were cumulative donation count and index yield (0.5/1/2 units). Univariate analyses used Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Multivariable negative binomial and binary logistic regressions adjusted for age, sex, ABO, and ethnicity. Sensitivity analyses excluded first-time donors, stratified by age, and removed the top 5% of donors. Results: HPA-3 and HPA-15 were the most polymorphic (b-allele frequencies: 42.0% and 44.5%). However, neither HPA-3 nor HPA-15 was significantly associated with cumulative donation count in multivariable negative binomial regression (HPA-15 ab vs aa+bb: IRR=1.02, 95% CI: 0.90-1.15, P=0.79; HPA-3 b carrier vs aa: IRR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.85-1.10, P=0.66). Similarly, no significant association was found between HPA-15 b carrier status and apheresis yield (OR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.76-1.25, P=0.83). These null findings remained consistent across all sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: In this cohort of northern Chinese Han platelet apheresis donors, HPA genotypes-including the polymorphic HPA-3 and HPA-15 systems-were not significantly associated with donation frequency or apheresis yield.
