Reference Intervals of Hematological Parameters Among Healthy Adults in Northern Sudan: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRecent studies from various countries, including those in Africa, have highlighted the importance of region-specific data in assessing hematological health. However, no study has established hematological reference intervals (RIs) in Northern Sudan. We aimed to investigate the normal hematological values among apparently healthy adults in Northern Sudan.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in Northern Sudan. Standardized procedures measured participants' weight, height, and hematological parameters. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the parameters between males and females. Mean, median, and RIs (2.5th-97.5th percentiles) were computed for the adults.
resultsTwo hundred fifty-three adults were enrolled (141 [55.7%] males and 112 [44.3%] females). The median (interquartile [IQR]) of the enrolled adults' age was 40.0 (29.7-50.0) years. The RIs for both genders, hemoglobin 9.71-16.10 g/dL, red blood cells (RBC) 3.66-5.79 × 10
conclusionThe study's findings underscore the importance of establishing RIs for each region and specific gender population. RIs should also be established in other regions of Sudan to enhance clinical relevance and accuracy.
