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

backgroundRecent advances in genomics have enabled the successful identification of a number of rare pathogenic mutations. Uncovering these mutations is essential as the first step towards devising a cure for the often debilitating and life-limiting diseases arising from them. For many of these mutations targeted agents do not yet exist. Here, we describe the case of a patient who has a novel pathogenic mutation in the erythropoietin (

methodsThe patient aged 5 months, was started on recombinant erythropoietin, at a standard dose of 500 units (50 U/kg) and subsequently 800 units three time weekly and her blood counts were monitored over 4 years.

findingsA prompt response to the recombinant erythropoietin was found with an increase in hemoglobin levels to 12.8 g/dL and increase in red cell count to 4.89×10

conclusionsPatient-customized therapies can be highly effective in the treatment of rare genetic disorders and for many of these disorders effective treatment may already exist in the clinical domain, as described for the patient in this report.
