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

backgroundJoint bleeding in hemophilia may eventually lead to joint damage. In nonsevere hemophilia, joint bleeds occur infrequently. Currently, knowledge on the joint status of patients with nonsevere hemophilia using objective imaging is limited.

objectiveTo investigate the joint status in patients with nonsevere hemophilia A.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included patients with nonsevere hemophilia A aged 24-55 years. Joint status was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the elbows, knees, and ankles and International Prophylaxis Study Group (IPSG) scores were calculated. Lifetime joint bleeding history was collected from medical files. The contribution of factors to joint outcome was explored using multivariable linear regression analysis.

resultsIn total, 51 patients were included, of whom 19 (37%) had moderate and 32 (63%) had mild hemophilia. Patients had a median age of 43 years (interquartile range [IQR] 32-50), a median factor VIII activity of 10 IU/dl (IQR 4-16) and a median annual joint bleeding rate (AJBR) of 0.0 (IQR 0.0-0.2). Soft-tissue changes (IPSG subscore > 0) in the elbows, knees, and ankles were present in 19%, 71%, and 71% of patients, respectively. Osteochondral changes (IPSG subscore > 0) in the elbows, knees, and ankles were present in 0%, 20%, and 35% of patients, respectively. In 14% of bleed-free joints, hemosiderin depositions were observed. Age and AJBRs were most strongly associated with the IPSG score.

conclusionThis study demonstrates that a substantial proportion of adults with nonsevere hemophilia has joint changes on MRI despite low joint bleeding rates.
