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

The persistence of high fetal hemoglobin level in adults may ameliorate the clinical phenotype of beta-thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. Several genetic variants responsible for hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin, linked and not linked to the beta globin gene cluster, have been identified in patients and in normal individuals. Monoallelic loss of KLF1, a gene with a key role in erythropoiesis, has been recently reported to be responsible for persistence of high levels of fetal hemoglobin. In a Sardinian family, high levels of HbF (22.1-30.9%) were present only in compound heterozygotes for the S270X nonsense and K332Q missense mutations, while the isolated S270X nonsense (haploinsufficiency) or K332Q missense mutation were associated with normal HbF levels (<1.5%). Functionally, the K332Q Klf1 mutation impairs binding to the BCl11A gene and activation of the γ- and β-globin promoters. Moreover, we report for the first time the association of KLF1 mutations with very high levels of zinc protoporphyrin.
