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

Inherited platelet function defects are characterized by sub-acute and chronic mucocutaneous bleedings leading to iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Oral supplementation is the mainstay of treatment of IDA; however, it can be insufficient to compensate the losses and is often associated with gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. Intravenous (IV) iron is indicated for severe anemia or to overcome GI intolerance. Previous IV iron formulations were limited by the risk of free iron toxicity and immunogenicity, while currently available compounds (ferumoxytol, iron isomaltoside and ferric carboxymaltose (FCM)) allow the administration of high doses with low immunogenicity. There are neither any randomized studies nor case reports evaluating the efficacy of FCM in patients with inherited platelet disorders. We herein present three cases of patients with IDA related to Glanzmann thrombasthenia and Bernard-Soulier syndrome, who have been successfully treated with FCM with increase in hemoglobin levels, reduced hospital visits and improvement in quality of life.
