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

We describe cases of hydrops fetalis associated with nondeletional alpha-thalassemia (alpha-thal), in three unrelated Indonesian families. The genotypes of the fetuses and their parents were generated by DNA sequencing and by a polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)-based method to rapidly identify mutations detected by sequencing. Two of the fetuses had hydrops fetalis and homozygous alpha59(E8)Gly-->Asp (alpha2), also known as Hb Adana. The third fetus was also suspected to be homozygous for Hb Adana because both parents were carriers of this mutation. This study shows that homozygosity for Hb Adana is associated with hydrops fetalis in the Indonesian population. We discuss this mutation and its various phenotypes including compound heterozygosity with other alpha-thal mutations and describe a simple approach to genetic testing that will clarify the risk of hydrops fetalis in the offspring of couples carrying this nondeletional mutation.
