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

objectivesThe blood collection agencies (BCAs) employ two major logistical modes of conduct for outdoor blood collection. First, the collection agency walks to the donor's preferred location for routine blood donation drives. Second, the drive is conducted using a heavy-duty vehicle having all the facilities for blood donation in it - Blood Donation on Wheels - hereinafter referred to as mobile blood drive (MBD). The study aimed to review the role of MBDs during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of data concerning the blood collection at the outdoor blood donation drives such as the number of drives, blood donations in voluntary (total outdoor), routine blood drive (RBD), and MBDs during the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to referent data.

resultsThere was a trend in the increase in MBDs (43.3% in 2020 vs. 35.6% in 2019), with odds of 1.38 (confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.9),

conclusionThe blood donation on wheels compliments the public outreach efforts of the BCAs, both in terms of the organization of the outdoor blood donation drives and the blood donations obtained thereof.
