Gender Differences in Dose of Erythropoietin to Maintain Hemoglobin Target in Hemodialysis Patients.
Article in Indian journal of nephrology. 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
Dialysis patients receiving erythropoietin (EPO) for anemia management are a challenge due to the significant interindividual variability in erythropoietic response. Our objective was to determine if there is a gender-dependent difference in the EPO doses required to maintain the hemoglobin (Hb) targets in adult patients undergoing hemodialysis. We conducted a historic cohort study with a 12-month follow-up. We include patients with the Hb target, normal serum albumin, and normal transferrin saturation index. Monthly data were gathered for the following: Hb level, EPO doses, and intravenous iron doses. In the 11 hemodialysis facilities included, 1844 patients were on hemodialysis. We considered 389 patients for follow-up, 190 of which were excluded mainly for failing to keep the Hb level in the established range. The final cohort for analysis included 141 men (70.9%) and 58 women (29.1%). At baseline, men weighed more than women (
