Treatment outcome in a cohort of young patients with polycythemia vera.
Article in Internal and emergency medicine, 2010. 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
The treatment of polycythemia vera in young adults is challenging, requiring one to run a balance between the increased risk of vascular complications, if left untreated, versus the potential of promoting secondary leukemia/myelodysplasia or cancer, if actively managed with chemotherapy. We report the results of a 20-year retrospective analysis in a cohort of 30 young adults with PV (median age 37 years, range 19-45) treated exclusively with phlebotomy, aspirin and hydroxyurea only in case of vascular complications occurring in the presence of thrombocytosis (platelet count > 600 × 10(9)/L). With this approach, vascular complications were no higher than in other published series, and secondary leukemia/myelodysplasia or cancer was not observed during a follow-up of 14 years.
