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

backgroundPancytopenia is a triage of anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia. The etiology causing pancytopenia varies depending upon factors such as age, sex, occupation, and geographical distribution. Unfortunately, the major treatises of hematology have not given emphasis on the hemorrhagic manifestation of different etiologies causing pancytopenia.

objectiveThis observational study was carried out with the aim to identify hemorrhagic manifestation in patients with pancytopenia in eastern India.

designThis study was conducted over a period of two years at the Department of Medicine of a tertiary care teaching institute in eastern India. All the patients with features of anemia, thrombocytopenia, or leukopenia were screened for pancytopenia and a total of 214 cases were selected. Patients were divided into two groups as patients with age more than 14 years constitute group one and the patients less than 14 years constitute the second group. A detailed physical examination, hematological, and biochemical investigation was done to ascertain the hemorrhagic manifestations in pancytopenia patients.

resultsIn the groups, the most common cause of hemorrhagic manifestation in patients with pancytopenia was aplastic anemic, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and myelofibrosis. No bleeding manifestation was seen in patients with megaloblastic anemia, kala-azar, hypersplenism, and other causes of pancytopenia.

conclusionsPatients with pancytopenia caused by aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome have more chances of bleeding manifestation as compared with pancytopenia caused by megaloblastic anemia, kala-azar, or hypersplenism.
