Basophilic stippling in red blood cells in the bone marrow: indication for lead poisoning diagnosis.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 40-year-old man presented at our hospital with anaemia that had been undiagnosed for 2 years. Blood tests, endoscopy, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography were performed, but a definitive diagnosis could not be made. A subsequent bone marrow biopsy revealed basophilic stippling in transformed red blood cells, which led to a differential diagnosis of lead poisoning. Additional tests revealed elevated levels of lead in the blood. Basophilic stippling is generally found on a peripheral blood smear in lead poisoning patients; however, in this case, basophilic stippling was found only on the bone marrow smear and not in the blood smear. Even if basophilic stippling is not found in the peripheral blood, lead poisoning cannot be excluded.
