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

Pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) is the rare glycolytic enzyme defect causing hemolytic anemia. Treatments are mainly red cell transfusion and/or splenectomy, leading to iron overload. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is alternatively curative treatment for severe PKD. The intensity of conditioning is often controversial because of higher risk of graft failure and organ damage. Here, we present a transfusion-dependent PKD patient undergoing BMT from an HLA-identical sibling using intensively immunosuppressive conditioning regimen. This report suggests that BMT using immunosuppressive conditioning regimen may be a feasible and effective treatment for patients with severe PKD with iron overload. We suggest the timing of the transplantation at an earlier age in severe PKD predicted from gene mutation is preferred before cumulative damage of transfusion.
