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

This study aimed to investigate the influence of TPMT*3C, ITPA, NUDT15, and 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN) on azathioprine (AZA)-induced myelosuppression in Southwest China patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). A total of 113 Chinese patients with AIH receiving AZA maintenance treatment were evaluated. The relevant clinical data of the patients were collected from the hospital information system. Genotyping of TPMT*3C(rs1142345), ITPA (rs1127354) and NUDT15(rs116855232) was conducted using a TaqMan double fluorescent probe. The concentration of 6-TGN was determined using UPLC-MS/MS. Among AIH patients treated with AZA, 40 (35.4%) exhibited different degrees of myelosuppression. The NUDT15 variant was associated with leukopenia (P = 8.26 × 10
