A Practical Approach to Polycythemia in the Outpatient Setting and Its Importance.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Polycythemia left undiagnosed or untreated may result in a number of sequelae including myocardial infarction or cerebral vascular accidents. While the diagnostic criteria, classification, and workup are established, many practitioners fail to either initiate the process or perform the correct workup. Most clinicians are familiar with polycythemia and its respective clinical encounters, nevertheless, the fact that it is so frequently misdiagnosed or improperly worked up necessitates additional education. This case report covers three practical clinical examples of outpatient polycythemia, and their respective workups Furthermore, this publication will discuss the diagnostic criteria laid out by the World Health Organization and the confusion regards complications based on etiology.
