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 27 cases of mild-to-severe α-thalassemia (α-thal) syndrome caused by interaction of Hb Adana [α59(E8)Gly→Asp, GGC>GAC (α2)] with deletional and nondeletional α(+)-thal mutations in Indonesian patients. Hematological profiles and clinical manifestations of all patients were assessed by routine procedures. The genotypes were generated by a multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (m-PCR), PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism)-based method, and DNA sequencing. The α-thal patients who had Hb Adana in combination with the 3.7 kb deletion mostly have mild-to-moderate anemia. In contrast, patients who were compound heterozygotes for Hb Adana and nondeletional mutations, generally showed a more severe anemia and it mostly presented in childhood. Thus, accurate diagnosis of α-thal disorders is not only important for future management of these patients but also for providing proper genetic counseling to the family.
