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

backgroundHereditary spherocytosis (HS), a commonly encountered hereditary hemolytic disease, is mostly inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The clinical manifestations in patients with HS show obvious heterogeneity. Moreover, the sensitivity or specificity of some HS diagnostic tests are not ideal and may easily result in misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis in some patients. The objective of this study was to propose a simple and practical diagnostic protocol, which can contribute to the diagnosis of HS and its differential diagnosis with different types of hemolytic anemia such as thalassemia (THAL), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, thus, to provide an alternative simple and reliable method for better clinical diagnosis of HS.

methodsThrough combing our research with existing experimental technologies and studies, we propose a simple and practical protocol for HS diagnosis, which will help clinicians to improve HS diagnosis.

resultsCompared with the existing HS diagnostic protocols, the HS diagnostic protocol we proposed is simpler. In this new protocol, some experimental tests with ideal diagnostic efficiency are added, such as mean reticulocyte volume (MRV), mean sphered cell volume (MSCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), in combination with the observation of clinical manifestations, family investigation, routine tests for hemolytic anemia, genetic testing, and other screening tests.

conclusionThe HS diagnostic protocol we proposed could improve the clinical practice and efficiency of HS diagnosis.
