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

Factor XII (FXII) deficiency is a rare genetic blood disorder. It can lead to a higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis or acquired thrombotic disorders than the general population. This retrospective study evaluated patients who opted for surgery and were found to have abnormal clotting profiles and clotting factors on preoperative routine blood. Patients were included regardless of whether they were symptomatic or asymptomatic. The cohort comprised 115 patients with a mean FXII level of 128.04 ± 36.93%. Two (1.79%) patients, both of whom were women, had FXII levels <60%. The mean FXII level was 58 ± 1.41 (range, 57-59%) in this group. The present study shows the prevalence of FXII in the asymptomatic Saudi population. The results provide the normal range for FXII. The findings of our study provide the basis for diagnosing
