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

Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome (mds) is characterized by peripheral blood cytopenias, with most patients developing significant anemia and dependence on red blood cell (rbc) transfusion. In paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (pnh), mutations in the Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of mds confirmed by bone-marrow biopsy since 2009 were reviewed. High-resolution pnh testing by flow cytometry examined flaer (fluorescein-labeled proaerolysin) binding and expression of CD14, CD15, CD24, CD45, CD59, CD64, and CD235 on neutrophils, monocytes, and rbcs. Results: In 152 patients with mds diagnosed in 2009 or later, the mds diagnosis included subtypes associated with pnh positivity (refractory anemia, Conclusions: Testing for pnh was infrequent in mds patients, and the criteria for testing were heterogeneous. Clinical indicators prompted pnh testing in 6 of 11 patients. Given that effective treatment is now available for pnh and that patients with pnh-positive mds can respond to immunosuppressive therapy, pnh testing in mds should be considered. Prospective analyses to clarify the clinical significance of pnh positivity in mds are warranted.
