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

A 42-year-old man with end-stage renal failure had been receiving hemodialysis therapy since April 2009. Initially, darbepoetin alfa was administered to treat his renal anemia. After treatment was switched to epoetin beta pegol, the patient's hemoglobin levels rapidly decreased. He was diagnosed with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) based on the results of a bone marrow examination. Epoetin beta pegol was strongly suspected to be the cause of the PRCA, and although he tested negative for anti-epoetin beta pegol antibodies, epoetin beta pegol was discontinued and cyclosporine therapy was initiated. Thereafter, his hemoglobin levels increased, and his anemia dramatically improved after 3 months.
