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

backgroundWe reported a patient with congenital dysfibrinogenemia who was misdiagnosed and reviewed relevant literature, in order to discuss the methods to reduce misdiagnosis.

methodsA 23-year-old pregnant woman was found to be with low fibrinogen in antenatal examination at another province teaching hospital, who was misdiagnosed to have hypofibrinogenemia. Fibrinogen infusion or cryoprecipitation was recommended if necessary. The patient came to our hospital for further diagnosis and treatment considering the safety of herself and the fetus. We examined the coagulation function and gene sequencing of the pregnant woman and her family members.

resultsFibrinogen (Clauss method) was significantly reduced in the patient and her mother, while the level of fibrinogen (PT-derived method) was normal. Thrombin time was prolonged. Heterozygous mutation site was found in exon 2 of the FGA gene, c.104G > A(p.Arg35His).

conclusionWhen the fibrinogen (Clauss method) is significantly reduced and the thrombin time is prolonged, PT-derived method and the investigation of family coagulation function should be added, which can be used to diagnose and distinguish congenital dysfibrinogenemia from hypofibrinogenemia.
