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

The application of erythropoietin (EPO) can bring about a rare but serious complication called anti-EPO antibody-mediated pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). Once the disease is diagnosed, EPO administration should be stopped immediately. However, after the removal of the anti-EPO antibody, treating anaemia in these patients with chronic renal disease with EPO therapy is difficult, as restarting EPO therapy risks the recurrence of anti-EPO antibody-mediated PRCA. A 26-year-old man with anaemia related to renal failure, who was administered recombinant human EPO subcutaneously, developed anti-EPO antibody-mediated PRCA. After removal of antibodies by treatment with corticosteroids and cyclosporine, therapy for anaemia of chronic renal disease with roxadustat achieved good results. Roxadustat is a new type of drug for the treatment of anaemia, and it can stimulate endogenous EPO within or near the physiologic range and increase haemoglobin levels.
