Interferon therapy for pregnant patients with essential thrombocythemia in Japan.
Article in International journal of hematology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) mainly affects the elderly, but can also develop in women of childbearing age. The risk of miscarriage and other complications during pregnancy in ET patients are reported to be higher than that compared to the general population. Therefore, management of pregnancy in ET patients requires special considerations. Several groups recommend interferon (IFN) therapy for ET patients with high-risk pregnancies, but currently no guidelines are available in Japan. We report the outcomes of nine ET patients with ten consecutive high-risk pregnancies. All patients were successfully managed with IFN-α during their pregnancies. All patients also received aspirin and switched to unfractionated heparin around 36 weeks of gestation. As for the seven pregnancies in which IFN-α was started after detection of pregnancy, median platelet counts decreased from 910 to 573 × 10
