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

backgroundIn myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), oxidative stress is closely related to iron overload and DNA damage. A recent study suggested the possibility that increased oxidative stress causes not only iron overload but also disease progression of MDS with DNA damage. We present a case of MDS with decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in peripheral white blood cells (WBCs) and decreased diacron-reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) in serum after azacitidine therapy. CASE SUMMARY: A 74-year-old man presented to the hematological department with the chief complaint of anemia. His vital signs were within normal limits at admission with a heart rate of 80 bpm and blood pressure of 135/60 mmHg. Laboratory tests indicated pancytopenia, a WBC count of 2190 cells/µL, a hemoglobin level of 6.2 g/dL and a platelet count of 7.4 × 10

conclusionAzacitidine therapy can improve hematopoiesis and decrease ROS and d-ROM production.
