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

Favism is an acute hemolytic syndrome that occurs in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency following the ingestion of fava beans. Diagnosis can be challenging because the severity of hemolytic anemia varies among this patient population. Furthermore, the severity of hemolytic episodes can vary in the same patient. The diagnosis of G6PD deficiency and patient education pertaining to safe and unsafe medications and foods are crucial to prevent the reoccurrence of hemolytic episodes. Here, we report the case of a man admitted to our hospital with an acute hemolytic episode. At the time of admission, we were unaware that he had ingested fava beans and only discovered that he had G6PD deficiency while performing complementary studies during the hemolytic crisis to determine its etiology.
