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

Congenital dysfibrinogenemia (CD) is a rare disorder of hemostasis. The majority of cases are caused by heterozygous missense mutations in one of the three fibrinogen genes. Patients with CD may experience bleeding and thrombosis, but many are asymptomatic. To better describe the clinical, laboratory, and genotypic picture of CD, we evaluated 31 patients from seven unrelated families using standard coagulation tests and genetic analysis. The clinical phenotype consisted of bleeding in 13/31 (42%) patients; other patients (18/31; 58%) were asymptomatic. Among patients with bleeding, symptoms were mostly in single anatomical sites, with variable intensity of bleeding. Compared to results from a previous large systematic survey, our results showed a similar mean bleeding score, but a higher incidence of bleeding episodes without thrombotic complications. In the present study, we identified three known pathogenic point mutations in the FGA (c.95G > A, c.104G > A) and FGB (c.586C > T) genes. The variants of CD identified in this cross-sectional study were either asymptomatic or had bleeding manifestations and showed similar laboratory features, irrespective of genotype. Results from genetic and clinical studies will continue to yield valuable information on the structure and function of the fibrinogen molecule.
