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

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with a significant hypercoagulable state and several hemostatic anomalies have been identified in this disease state. Of interest, SCD patients can become iron overloaded after transfusion, and iron can enhance fibrinogen as a substrate for thrombin, resulting in thrombi that commence coagulation quickly and form rapidly. We hypothesized that SCD patients would display hypercoagulable plasma coagulation kinetics and an iron enhancement of coagulation. After obtaining IRB approval, we assessed coagulation kinetics and iron enhancement with viscoelastic methods in archived, citrated plasma obtained from ambulatory or hospitalized SCD patients (n = 20). All SCD patients had plasmatic hypercoagulability, and 65 % were positive for iron enhancement of coagulation. In conclusion, continuing investigation correlating such viscoelastic data with clinical symptoms may provide insight into the role played by iron in the setting of SCD, including complications such as vaso-occlusive crisis.
