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

Erythrocytosis is a blood disorder characterised by an increased red blood cell mass. The most common causes of erythrocytosis are acquired and caused by diseases and conditions that are accompanied by hypoxaemia or overproduction of erythropoietin. More rarely, erythrocytosis has a known genetic background, such as for polycythaemia vera and familial erythrocytosis. The majority of cases of polycythaemia vera are associated with acquired variants in JAK2, while familial erythrocytosis is a group of congenital disorders. Familial erythrocytosis type 1 is associated with hypersensitivity to erythropoietin (variants in EPOR), types 2-5 with defects in oxygen-sensing pathways (variants in VHL, EGLN1, EPAS1, EPO), and types 6-8 with an increased affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen (variants in HBB, HBA1, HBA2, BPGM). Due to a heterogenic genetic background, the causes of disease are not fully discovered and in more than 70% of patients the condition remains labelled idiopathic.The transfer of next-generation sequencing into clinical practice is becoming a reality enabling detection of various variants in a single rapid test. In this review, we describe the current research on erythrocytosis gene variants and the mechanisms associated with disease development, along with the currently used diagnostic tests.
