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

Background: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a global health issue in hematology with a progressively increasing prevalence. There are recent advances in the management of SCD, with new drugs being introduced. It is essential to analyze the genetic makeup of SCD regionally to anticipate the effectiveness of management modalities. This systematic review's main objectives are (a) to combine the existing knowledge of the genetic composition of SCD in the Arab population and (b) to analyze the various phenotypes of SCD prevalent in the Arab population. Methods: We will perform a systematic review and search multiple electronic databases predefined search terms to identify eligible articles. Eligible studies should report findings on the genetic testing of Sickle Cell disease in the 22 Arab countries. Case reports, case series, observational studies with cross-sectional or prospective research design, case-control studies, and experimental studies will be included. Study quality will be independently evaluated by two reviewers using the statistical methodology and categories guided by the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook and PRISMA guidelines. Discussion: This review will explore and integrate the evidence available on the various genotypes and phenotypes of SCD in the Arab population. By acquiring and summarizing data about the genetic and phenotypic variants of the SCD patient population, this study will add to the knowledge and help find more precise treatments. Systematic review registration: The protocol is registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; registration number: CRD42020218666).
