Endothelial Activation Markers in Polytransfused Children with Beta Thalassemia: Study from a Tertiary Care Centre in India.
Article in Indian journal of hematology & blood transfusion : an official journal of Indian Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Beta thalassemia major is associated with a subclinical hypercoagulable state. Endothelial activation markers like soluble Intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1) and E-selectin have been implicated in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction and hemostatic alterations. In this study we aimed to study serum levels of sICAM-1 and E-selectin in polytransfused children with β thalassemia major and their association with serum ferritin and D-dimer levels. Sixty-two polytransfused β-thalassemia major children aged between 5 and 17 years and 26 age and gender matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Complete blood count with peripheral smear, liver function tests, serum ferritin, coagulation tests [PT, APTT, D-dimer] and endothelial activation marker tests [ICAM-1 and E-selectin] were performed. PT, APTT and D-dimer levels were significantly higher in beta-thalassemia major patients than in control group (
