Trust and distrust: Identifying recruitment targets for ethnic minority blood donors.
Article in Transfusion medicine (Oxford, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundWe explore the role of trust, distrust, and the prevailing socio-political context to better understand why people from ethnic minority communities are less likely to be blood donors compared to people from White communities. Recruiting more ethnic minority donors will enhance representativeness, reduce inequality, and help meet the clinical need to increase the proportion of blood with Ro Kell antigen to treat Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsA 2 (donor-status: current donor; non-donors) by 4 (ethnicity: People from Asian, Black, Mixed and White ethnic backgrounds) quasi-experiment (N = 981) was conducted to examine perceptions of trust/distrust and their influence on willingness to donate blood, within the socio-political context of the Windrush scandal and Brexit.
resultsWe identified five domains of trust ('National Health Service [NHS] and staff,' 'NHS Blood and Transplant,' 'outgroups,' 'individuals' and 'politics'), and a single domain of conditional distrust domain. Trust across all the domains was lower, and 'conditional distrust' higher for ethnic minorities. Trust in 'individuals' and 'NHSBT' predicted willingness to donate in non-donors from ethnic minorities and White non-donors, respectively. Concerns about the Windrush scandal were related to lower political trust. Viewing Brexit as 'positive for the UK' was related to lower trust across domains and reduced willingness to donate in White non-donors through its influence on reduced trust in NHSBT.
conclusionDistinct domains of trust and distrust are identified, and targeting 'trust in others' through conditional cooperation is recommended as a strategy to increase donor numbers from ethnic minority communities.
