Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: When delay in diagnosis and long therapy occurs.
Article in Hematology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare clonal disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, bone marrow failure and thrombosis, caused by a somatic mutation in PIG-A gene that results in the absence of CD55 and CD59, two important complement regulatory proteins. In this paper, a case of PNH is retrospectively examined looking for clinical and laboratory features, and the entire course of the disease from the onset of the symptoms is described, together with an adequate follow- up over a 7-years treatment period. In this case, the not specificity and the limited clinical relevance of the symptoms led to a delay in diagnosis. After thrombosis, Eculizumab therapy has been shown to be effective, and during seven years of followup no events have occurred that put the patient's life at risk. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial in cases like this, in order to allow early diagnosis and minimize the risks for the patients.
