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

Molecular analysis of globin genes is an essential process for prenatal diagnosis (PND) of severe thalassemia. This study aimed to describe the molecular characteristics of thalassemia and hemoglobin (Hb) variants in PND program in northern Thailand. The type and frequency of globin gene mutations from 1290 couples at risk of fetal severe thalassemia diseases that were tested at Thalassemia Laboratory at Chiang Mai University from 2012 to 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The PND program detected 444 (34.4%), 196 (15.2%) and 642 (49.8%) couples at risk of fetal Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis, beta-thalassemia major (BTM) and beta-thalassemia/Hb E disease, respectively. Coinheritance of more than one type of thalassemia was common and eight (0.6%) couples were at risk of two types of severe thalassemia. There were two types of alpha
