Comparing the effects of intravenous and subcutaneous Erythropoietin on blood indices in hemodialysis patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Erythropoietin is used routinely in hemodialysis patients to increase hemoglobin levels in patients with ESRD and anemia. Considering the importance of anemia in hemodialysis patients and its complications, in this study, the effect of erythropoietin administration on blood parameters by comparing the methods of subcutaneous and intravenous administrations was investigated. The research was done as a retrospective descriptive-analytic study. The subjects were 300 hemodialysis patients receiving erythropoietin in two groups (intravenous and subcutaneous) from hospitals affiliated to Kurdistan and Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. Data were extracted from the patients' records and entered into a researcher-made checklist during 6 months and analyzed using SPSS version 20 and descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean rank of hematocrit in subcutaneous and intravenous injections (P-value = 0.002) and it was higher in the subcutaneous injection group. Also, independent t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the mean of hemoglobin concentration among subcutaneous and intravenous injections (P-value = 0.001) and it was higher in the subcutaneous injection group. However, there was no significant difference between the mean of ferritin in both groups (P-value = 0.084). According to the results, the injection of erythropoietin in the subcutaneous method was more effective than intravenous. It is recommended to use this approach to improve blood indices in hemodialysis patients.
