Article in Leukemia research reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms associated with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare acquired disorder of hematopoietic stem cells. While it directly impairs lifestyle leading to poor quality of life (QOL), it is not well recognized that fatigue could not depend on the disease activity or percentage of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-deficient granulocyte. We describe the case of a 78-year-old woman, with mild hemolysis and a 20-year history of severe sustained fatigue, whose QOL drastically improved with eculizumab followed by ravulizumab. We also used the novel aplastic anemia and PNH specific QOL tool to evaluate multiple statuses of the patient.
