Chronic Disease Management in Sickle Cell Trait Patients in the Primary Care Setting: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a heterogeneous group of inherited hemoglobinopathies associated with mutations in the beta subunit of the hemoglobin protein. Several case reports and scientific reviews of the current literature have been published that indicate individuals having a single copy of the mutant sickle cell allele, known as sickle cell trait (SCT), can experience the same functional asplenia and increased risk of cerebrovascular accidents, kidney disease, cardiovascular effects, and veno-occlusive diseases as SCD patients when they are exposed to extreme conditions and stressful environments such as high-altitude, deep-sea diving, and intense physical activity. SCT also impacts the management of chronic illnesses such as diabetes mellitus. Here, we report a patient presenting for primary care follow-up after an SCT-related splenic infarction in order to emphasize the unique impact of SCT on long-term care and preventive medicine in the primary care setting.
