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

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an erythrocyte membrane disease with a non-specific phenotype, particularly occurring in neonatal patients, and its diagnosis is challenging. The present study reports on a patient with neonatal HS and reviewed the genetic characteristics of reported neonatal HS cases in China. The patient was admitted only a few hours after birth with jaundice. Auxiliary examination indicated anemia and hyperbilirubinemia. Spherical erythrocytes were occasionally observed in peripheral blood smears. Genetic testing suggested that the patient harbored a novel frameshift mutation (p.Asp495fsTer78) in spectrum, β, erythrocytic (SPTB), which was carried by the father. Review of 160 cases of HS in China revealed 24 to be neonatal cases. In these neonatal cases, the frequency of ankyrin 1 (ANK1) mutations and loss-of-function mutations of pathogenic genes (including ANK1 and SPTB) was higher than that in the non-neonatal group. In conclusion, the present study further expanded the mutation spectrum of SPTB and reaffirms the diagnostic value of gene detection in neonatal HS.
