1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTransfusion-transmitted infectious agents are amongst the major health burden worldwide. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among blood donors in Samtah General Hospital, Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn this retrospective study, blood donation records of all blood donors recruited between January 2019 and August 2020 were included for data acquisition. A total of 4977 blood donors' records were reviewed and data were analysed.

resultsHepatitis B profile showed 0.60% blood donors positive for hepatis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Nucleic acid testing (NAT) showed the presence of HBV-DNA in 0.4% of the blood donors. Anti-HBs and anti-HBc antibodies were reactive in 3.34% and 7.31% blood donors' units, respectively. Anti-HCV antibodies were reactive among 54 (1.09%) blood donors. Upon reviewing the NAT analysis results, 0.16% (08) blood donors showed the presence of HCV-RNA in their blood units. Anti-HIV antibodies were reactive in 8 (0.16%) blood donors.

conclusionIt is concluded that the frequency of HBsAg is comparatively lower while anti-HCV positivity is higher in Samtah, Jazan as a region compared to other regions of the country. Further studies are warranted to evaluate the cause of HCV infection in this area. Frequency of HIV is uncommon in this area.
