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

introductionFactor V Leiden (G1691A), prothrombin (G20210A) and MTHFR (C677T) gene mutations were investigated in many studies for their association with Deep Venous Thrombosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A North Lebanese family has been examined, from an index case, a 40-year-old woman, who had a history of venous thrombosis with unexplained recurrent miscarriage. The index case was found to be heterozygous for factor V Leiden G1691A, prothrombin G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T gene variants. Her family members were heterozygous for at least two of the three-point mutations, and multiple risk factors associated with thrombophilia were identified.

conclusionOur findings emphasize the need for clarifying the utility and futility of thrombophilia testing in the era of molecular diagnostics.
