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

α-Thalassemia major (ATM) is a severe disease resulting from deletions in all 4 copies of the α-globin gene. Although it is usually fatal before birth, the advent of in utero transfusions has enabled survival of a growing number of children. Postnatal therapy consists of chronic transfusions or stem cell transplantation, similar to patients with β-thalassemia major. In this review, we discuss the experience with postnatal stem cell transplantation in patients with ATM, as well as the ongoing phase 1 clinical trial of in utero stem cell transplantation for this condition.
