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

backgroundThalassemia is a group of inherited autosomal recessive hemolytic anemia disease caused by reduced or absent synthesis of globin chain/chains of hemoglobin. Only few studies showed the molecular characterization of α- and β-thalassemia in Meizhou city of China.

methodsA total of 22,401 individuals were collected; hematological and hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis and thalassemia genetic testing were performed.

resultsEleven thousand and thirty (49.24%) cases with microcytosis (mean corpuscular volume (MCV) < 82 fl), 11,074 (49.44%) cases with hypochromia (mean corpuscular Hb (MCH) < 27 pg) in 22,401 subjects, 11,085 cases with abnormal hemoglobin results were identified in subjects aged ≥6 months. 7,322 (32.69%) subjects harbored thalassemia mutations, including 4,841 (21.61%) subjects with α-thalassemia, 2,237 (9.99%) with β-thalassemia, and 244 (1.09%) with α-thalassemia combined β-thalassemia. 18 genotypes of α-thalassemia mutations and 27 genotypes of β-thalassemia mutations were characterized. The most frequent α gene mutation was --
