Fertility in Patients with Thalassemia and Outcome of Pregnancies: A Turkish Experience
Article in Turkish journal of haematology : official journal of Turkish Society of Haematology, 2019. 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
Objective: In recent years, the rates of marriage and pregnancy are increasing in patients with thalassemia major. The aim of the present study was to investigate the fertility rate of thalassemic patients and the course of pregnancies in terms of mother and infant health. Materials and Methods: In this observational study patients with major hemoglobinopathy were evaluated regarding marital status, the need for assisted reproductive techniques, fertility rate, iron status, and pregnancy complications. Results: Seventeen female patients gave birth to 21 healthy infants. About one-third of the patients needed assisted reproductive techniques. Thalassemia major patients showed increased serum ferritin levels from 1203±1206 μg/L at baseline to 1880±1174 μg/L at the end of pregnancy. All babies are still alive and healthy. Conclusion: Pregnancy in patients with thalassemia can be safe for the mother and newborn with close monitoring and a multidisciplinary approach.
