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

Primary familial and congenital polycythaemia (PFCP) is a rare form of inherited erythrocytosis caused by heterozygous mutations in the erythropoietin receptor gene (EPOR). We present a novel mutation in the EPOR in a 15-year-old male who was referred to our clinic for investigation of a persistently elevated haemoglobin level. A significant family history of unexplained erythrocytosis spanning four generations of the patient's family was established. The family history was also significant for an apparent increased rate of cerebrovascular disease in individuals with erythrocytosis. The mutation detected in our patient resides in exon 8 of EPOR, similar to all other EPOR mutations responsible for PFCP. These mutations result in truncation of the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor and impair down-regulation of signalling via the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR). Clinical manifestations in published cases have varied widely and there is a paucity of firm recommendations regarding the management of affected patients. Given the strong family history of complications attributable to erythrocytosis we have recommended venesection with a haematocrit target of ≤0.45 for our patient.
