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

backgroundDeletional hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH)/δβ-thalassemia and δ-thalassemia are rare inherited disorders which may complicate the diagnosis of β-thalassemia. The aim of this study was to reveal the frequency of these two disorders in Southwestern China.

methodsA total of 33,596 subjects were enrolled for deletional HPFH/δβ-thalassemia, and positive individuals with high fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) level were diagnosed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). A total of 17,834 subjects were analyzed for mutations in the δ-globin gene. Positive samples with low Hb A

resultsA total of 92 suspected cases with Hb F ≥5.0% were further characterized by MLPA. Eight different deletional HPFH/δβ-thalassemia were observed at a frequency of 0.024%. In addition, 195 cases suspected to have a δ-globin gene mutation (Hb A

conclusionScreening of these two disorders was analyzed in Southwestern China, which could define the molecular basis of these conditions in this population.
